Argentina's Angel di Maria will reportedly miss the remainder of the World Cup after exiting his team's quarterfinals win over Belgium in the first half with an apparent leg injury.
According to Yahoo!, the injury is a small tear in di Maria's thigh. AS.com says it's "not serious," but will sideline di Maria through the end of the tournament.
Di Maria scored the late goal that elevated Argentina past Switzerland in the Round of 16. He's one of Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella's most valuable players.
