PSG coach Tuchel admits Cavani could join Neymar out of Man Utd clash

PSG coach Thomas Tuchel admits Edinson Cavani could miss their Champions League clash with Manchester United.

Cavani pulled a thigh strain when scoring the winner from spot against Bordeaux on Saturday.

With Neymar already ruled out for Tuesday's first-leg, Tuchel said of Cavani: "No, I do not have good news to give, it may not be the big muscle, but a loved one. But we have to wait a bit, I have not yet seen Edi for the moment or spoken with the doc.

"Honestly, I do not know (if he can play Manchester). But when Edi comes out in the 43rd minute, I'm scared, it's clear. If he had wanted to stay on, he could have told me, he was two minutes before half-time, if he was tired or something like that but he was not.

"If he was injured while shooting the penalty? Yes, it's exactly that hit and that's what worried me. Make a strike and go out ... Oh yes, it's not good."
