INJURY LADEN PSG WILL BE WITHOUT NEYMAR, MBAPPE AND CAVANI FOR CRUNCH TIE AGAINST REAL MADRID

Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani are set to miss Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League meeting with Real Madrid on Wednesday.

The Ligue 1 champions confirmed that the attacking duo are not likely to resume first-team training until the end of this week.

Neither player has featured since suffering muscle strains in the 4-0 defeat of Toulouse last month.

With Neymar who scored on his return to the first team on Saturday after being left out amid the uncertainty over his future during the transfer window – banned for the opening three Champions League group games, it means Mauro Icardi will likely lead the line at Parc des Princes.

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is the other option at head coach Thomas Tuchel’s disposal.

Julian Draxler, Thilo Kehrer and Colin Dagba will also miss the visit of Zinedine Zidane’s side as they continue to recover from injury problelms
