Cavani put PSG ahead from the penalty spot in the 42nd minute when, moments later, he walked off before the halftime whistle. My feeling is that it will be very hard for him to feature in Manchester.

"We will have to wait another night and day to have a clearer idea and get more tests done". "I wanted a new challenge and a new adventure and the time had come".

And speaking after the game, Tuchel said: "If he [Cavani] comes off, obviously I am anxious".

PSG are already without Neymar, who was ruled out with a foot injury, leaving the French side with only Kylian Mbappe as a world-class striking option. If Edi is not there in Manchester, of course it is big.

Manchester United may have received a boost in their prospects of beating Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League after both Edinson Cavani and Thomas Meunier were hauled off the pitch against Bordeaux with injury concerns.

And Tuchel conceded the loss of Cavani, combined with the absence of Neymar, would force him to reevaluate his entire game plan for their biggest match of the season to date - the first leg of their Champions League tie with Manchester United.

'We don't have good news for Edi.

"Honestly, I don't know if he will be here on Tuesday". We are no longer looking at Plan B, but Plan D!

Italian midfielder Marco Verratti returned to the starting XI after several weeks out with ankle troubles, and played just short of one hour before being substituted.

"If two or three key players are not there, it is our responsibility to find solutions".

"Marco Verratti wants to play but he only played 60 minutes once", he said.
