Di Maria was quoted by D Sports as saying:
Leo is always missed. It's a shame that this injury happened to him now, but we have to be calm. It's better that it happened now and he is fine for the Copa America.
The Copa America 2024 will take place from June 20 to July 14. The tournament will be held in 14 cities in the United States.
