Impact Di Maria could technically be an option, but he'll have just a pair of training sessions to prepare for the match. He might be outright excluded from the squad list given the situation, but more will be known in the lead-up to the game.

Live updates | Argentina wins World Cup final against France
Lionel Messi has led Argentina to its third World Cup title by beating defending champion France in a penalty shootoutDECEMBER 18, 2022 • Associated Press
Scores in World Cup win Di Maria scored one goal from two shots (one on goal) and created three chances during 64 minutes of Sunday's World Cup final win over France after penalties.
Impact Di Maria was one of the best players on the pitch and though he couldn't play deep into the match, performed exceptionally well after his return from a quad injury. If there was anyone who deserved redemption following injuries and unlucky results in his career, it was Di Maria and he earned his chance to win a World Cup. He's struggled with injuries for both club and country this season and will look to right that trend in 2023 after this victory.

Starting against France Di Maria made the starting lineup for Sunday's World Cup final against France.
Impact Di Maria only played for eight minutes during the knockout rounds after starting in all three group stage games until a quad injury limited his fitness. He's evidently done well enough in training to earn a starting spot which pushes Rodrigo De Paul into a central-midfield role for the biggest game yet.

Impact Di Maria started all three games in the group stage but has spent two-of-three knockout contests on the bench without stepping onto the field due to a quad injury. Now that he's fully fit, Leandro Paredes stepped in and did well against Croatia in the semifinal, so there should be more updates on who might get this spot as the last match approaches.

Doubt to start Di Maria may not be ready to start in Tuesday's semifinal against Croatia, according to Gaston Edul of TyC Sports. If he's out, Leandro Paredes is likely to take his place.
Impact Di Maria was a late and busy addition during the win over Holland after penalties following his return from a quad injury. Going into the semifinals, Di Maria may not be the best tactical pick against a Croatian side famous for its midfield built around Luka Modric. As the match nears, the placement of Di Maria will be one story to track.

Comes off bench in win Di Maria created one chance on five crosses (one accurate) in eight minutes off the bench during Friday's win over the Netherlands after penalties.
Impact Di Maria was able to play for the final stages of extra time and penalties after returning from a quad injury. Going into the last two games of the World Cup, Di Maria is certainly in contention to start on the right flank after recording one assist in three starts during the group stage.

Available as substitute Di Maria (quadriceps) will be an option off the bench against Netherlands on Friday.
Impact Di Maria was an unused substitute in the previous contest after starting all three group-stage contests. It would seem the midfielder's quadriceps injury continues to limit his availability, even if he is fit enough to be included in the squad. At this point, it seems unlikely Di Maria will get on the pitch against Netherlands, though he hasn't been officially ruled out.

Rejoins training Di Maria (quad) participated in all of Tuesday's training session ahead of Friday's match against the Netherlands, according to Gaston Edul of TyC Sports.
Impact Di Maria is back after missing Saturday's win over Australia with a muscular injury and it's promising news given his participation in tactical work as well. If he's still not fit, Angel Correa is one option to take his place on the wing. In three games, Di Maria has recorded one assist from six chances created.
