Edinson Cavani is likely to be out for the game against the Red Devils

PSG boss Thomas Tuchel is already without Neymar and has ruled Cavani out too meaning Kylian Mbappe will have to lead the line for the Ligue 1 giants.Asked about the injury blow, Tuchel said: “Would Man United miss Pogba or Rashford? Of course. Neymar is one of our best players and one of the best players in Europe. We will miss him a lot. And now Cavani is out.“You can’t place all the burden on Kylian Mbappe. It’s not his job to replace Cavani and Ney. “He has to be free to play his game. I want us to provide him with the right kind of support. He needs to play with a good mindset and to be positive.We are here to score, perhaps more than one.”And according to RMC Sport journalist Loic Tanzi, Cavani could even miss the second leg in Paris on March 6.On Twitter, Tanzi said: Its now a certainty. Cavani will not be there against Manchester United [tonight].According to the entourage of the player, the attacker suffers from a lesion in the right thigh. Uncertain even for the return [leg]. Race against time.This comes as a huge blow to Tuchel’s side, who will not have Brazilian Neymar available for either leg against United as he has a foot injury.It adds the pressure on Mbappe, who came on for Cavani in the win over Bordeaux.GETTY2
