News Man Utd: Edinson Cavani injured in thigh during PSG victory

Edinson Cavani is a big doubt for the shock of the Champions League between Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United after an injury against Bordeaux.

The PSG striker scored the winning goal of his team, but was injured by taking the penalty.

Thomas Tuchel has chosen to replace the scorer rather than risk getting hurt again, while the boss of PSG is preparing to join his camp Tuesday in Manchester.

Defender Thomas Meunier asked to be removed from the game after a shock.

Tuchel could not confirm if either of the two men would be able to face United, but admitted that Cavani's injury was not aesthetic.

& # 39; We must wait. I do not have good news, "said Tuchel.

"Honestly, I do not know if Cavani will play. Yes it is disturbing. We do not have another Edi as we do not have another Neymar. "

The double injury is another blow for PSG, which is already private Neymar for the last match at 16 against United.

Neymar will miss both games against United after breaking the metatarsal.

The omission of Cavani and Neymar in the PSG team would give a major boost to United's chances of overtaking the French champions.

The win over Bordeaux allowed PSG to score 13 points ahead of the Ligue 1, but comes after the most difficult pbadage of its season.

A 2-1 defeat at Lyon last Sunday was their first defeat of the season. They then struggled to qualify for third place Villefranche in the Coupe de France on Wednesday.
