Angel Di Maria was taken off during Paris Saint-Germain's 2-1 defeat to Nantes after there was a 'violent burglary' at his family home in the French capital.  

PSG sporting director Leonardo was seen on his phone during the second half, and after a brief discussion with manager Mauricio Pochettino, Di Maria was replaced by Leandro Paredes after 62 minutes.   

The former Tottenham manager then had a word in the ear of his star player before walking with him towards the dressing room and later coming back out by himself.

French publication RMC reported that Di Maria was taken off due to a 'serious personal problem' after his family home in Paris was burgled. 

It is also reported that members of Di Maria's family were present at his home during the robbery - and some reports say they were held hostage.

RMC report that the incident had turned 'extremely violent'.

Marca later reported that the family were unharmed but were held hostage. 

The contents of the upstairs safe were stolen and a specialised robbery unit was dispatched to the address in Neuilly-sur Seine.   

Di Maria is said to have quickly left the Parc Des Princes after hearing about the burglary at his home.
