Angel Di Maria Shines In and Out

Sunday in La Liga, Real Madrid defeated CA Osasuna, earning the top standing in La Liga with 28 points, 3 points above Barcelona.  Midfielder Ángel Di María placed goals at the feet of his teammates Cristiano Ronaldo, Pepe, and Gonzalo Higuaín leaving Real Madrid ahead at the half with time to spare. Nine minutes after half, Osausna gave up a penalty for taking down Midfielder Mesut Özil; as a result Ronaldo received his fourth Liga hat-trick in the season.  While Madrid was leading 7-1, Angel Di Maria left 10 minutes in the second half due to an injured hamstring.  

Though Real Madrid moves to the very top in La Liga and is advancing to the knockout round in the Champions League, it is uncertain of how long Di María will be sidelined due to his injury.  Now my question is, how much will this affect Real Madrid?
