Thomas Tuchel confesses with Edinson Cavani, shot, as he leaves the field
Paris Saint-Germain head coach Thomas Tuchel is "worried", Edinson Cavani could miss the Champions League clash on Tuesday against Manchester United after limping against Bordeaux.
Cavani scored on the score just before the halftime whistle of the 1-0 win, but seemed to get hurt by taking the penalty kick.
Tuchel did not take any chances and immediately replaced the Uruguayan international.
His absence against United would be a blow to the champion of France, the Brazilian star Neymar being already removed from both legs of the meeting by a foot injury.

After the match, Tuchel said: "This is not good news.This may not be the main muscle [thigh]but one nearby. In any case, we must wait. I have not seen Edi yet, nor the doctor. For Manchester United, I do not know yet, I just do not know.
"If it's clear, it's obvious that I'm worried, hitting the ball and having to let go is worrying, if Edi is not there in Manchester, of course, he's fat."
"Yes, there was a lot of bad luck – we do not have a second Edi, nor Neymar."
The good news for PSG is that Italian midfielder Marco Veratti played 59 minutes on his return from an ankle injury before being replaced by Nikola Maksimovic.
