Both were injured when PSG played week three of Ligue 1 against Toulouse on Monday (8/27) early morning Western Indonesian Time. The match ended 4-0 to PSG’s victory via two goals scored by Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Mathieu Goncalves, and Marquinhos.

“Cavani, who was also injured in yesterday’s match on the right hip, had an MRI scan this morning. The recovery period will be determined in the next few days, but it is predicted he will not play for three weeks.”

Naturally, in these conditions, Neymar played. But, his uncertain future situation was the reason Tuchel had not played so far.

“Leonardo (PSG Sports Director) knows I want to keep him. But, it doesn’t just depend on him. The situation is not clear, yes, and we have to look for clarity,” said the new Tuchel.
