Rik Sharma of the Daily Mail reported that Di Maria has a "little tear of his adductor and may not be back until a possible final."
Di Maria an Important Piece for Argentina, PSG
The Argentina international played a prominent role in the PSG's Ligue 1 title triumph last season—his first in French football—scoring 10 goals and registering 18 assists in 29 league outings.
After a torrid sole campaign at Manchester United in 2014-15, the former Real Madrid ace has once again found his groove at the Parc des Princes, and PSG will be saddened to lose the South American's services.
PSG won't be back in action until late July, so the French champions should be fine, depending on the severity of the injury. Argentina, meanwhile, looked like a surefire favorite to take home Copa America, but Di Maria's absence could hamper those chances.
It could require Argentina to use Lionel Messi more than they would like during this tournament, with the Albiceleste managing their star's fitness after his return from a back problem.
