Argentina's Sergio Aguero set to return against Netherlands

Sergio Aguero missed Argentina’s last two games against Switzerland and Belgium owing to a hamstring injury.

Belo Horizonte (Brazil), July 7 (IANS) Argentina have been boosted by the return to fitness of Sergio Aguero ahead of their World Cup semifinal against the Netherlands Wednesday.

Aguero has missed the Albiceleste's past two matches against Switzerland and Belgium with a hamstring injury but looked untroubled during a light training session here Sunday, reports Xinhua.

But the news was not so good for Angel di Maria who was forced to watch his teammates from the sidelines.
