Sergio Aguero has been declared fit to feature in Argentina's World Cup semi-final against the Netherlands after overcoming a muscle strain.

The Manchester City forward was absent from his nation's last two tournament fixtures due to injury, but is expected to rejoin the squad for Wednesday's clash after returning to training.

Argentina's team doctor Daniel Martinez told reporters: "Sergio has practiced three times. He's ready to play."

While Aguero is poised to make a return, his teammate Angel di Maria has been ruled out of the encounter after suffering a thigh injury in Argentina's 1-0 win over Belgium in the quarter-finals on Saturday.
