Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) striker, Edinson Cavani is a major doubt to face Manchester United on Tuesday after sustaining an injury.
The French side’s head coach Thomas Tuchel said on Saturday that he was “worried” Cavani could miss the Champions League clash with United, after limping off against Bordeaux.
Cavani scored from the spot just before the half-time whistle of the 1-0 victory, but appeared to injure himself in taking the penalty.
