PSG RECEIVE DOUBLE BOOST AHEAD OF NICE CLASH WITH MBAPPE AND CAVANI PRONOUNCED MATCH FIT

Paris Saint-Germain have been boosted by the return of Kylian Mbappe to their squad to face Nice, with Edinson Cavani also included.

The Ligue 1 champions were dealt injury blows during the international break as world-record signing Neymar and impressive midfielder Idrissa Gueye sustained hamstring issues.

But Thomas Tuchel can call on star attacker Mbappe again on Friday, with the World Cup winner available after a complication with his hamstring ahead of the previous match against Angers.

Mbappe had been out earlier in the campaign with a similar issue and had to withdraw from France duty during the international break.

Tuchel told a news conference on Thursday the 20-year-old has been “training normally” as he hoped to have him available.

Mbappe was joined in the PSG squad by their record goalscorer Cavani, who has not played since August.

The Uruguay international is out of contract at the end of the season and linked to Juventus.
