REUTERS: The wounds of Neymar, Edinson Cavani and Thomas Meunier make Paris St Germain "unpredictable" against Manchester United in their Champions League match on Tuesday, said Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the coach of the Premier League.
Forward Neymar and Cavani, who have scored 41 goals this season, are injured in the foot and hip, while Meunier was resting for the trip to Old Trafford after a concussion.
"Any team missing players like Neymar, Cavani, Meunier will miss them, but that leaves a chance for the other players," Solskjaer told reporters before his first match in Europe as United's acting manager.
"It makes things more unpredictable for us, to whom they will play.When you see these three leading players (Neymar, Cavani and Kylian Mbappe), you know how they will play, so we guess a little bit."
Solskjaer was in Lyon last weekend with badistant manager Mike Phelan to watch PSG in action in Ligue 1, but the Norwegian manager said he could not judge Thomas Tuchel's players on the sole form of their league.
PSG are 10 points clear in Ligue 1 with two games to play and have won five of the last six titles in the league.
"It's hard to compare games because when they play in the league, they know they're going to win," said Solskjaer, before the first leg of their 16th match.
"So they do things differently from the Champions League, you try to do due diligence."
