The Argentina international recently returned to action in Saturday's 4-0 victory over Racing Santander after missing the past six weeks due to a thigh injury.

However, Di Maria sustained another knock during his 30-minute cameo and sat out the club's 1-1 Champions League encounter at CSKA Moscow on Tuesday as a result.

The report claims that further tests have shown a recurrence of Di Maria's thigh injury, with the 24-year-old expected to miss four more weeks of action.

The former Benfica winger is expected to miss Madrid's next four Primera Division matches against Rayo Vallecano, Espanyol, Betis and Malaga, and the Champions League return leg against CSKA at the Santiago Bernabeu.
