PSG's Tuchel to be patient with World Cup stars Neymar, Mbappe & Cavani

Neymar, Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe will not be rushed back into action after their World Cup exertions, says Paris Saint-Germain coach Thomas Tuchel.

PSG were without their star forward line for a 3-1 International Champions Cup defeat to Bayern Munich on Saturday, although Timothy Weah opened the scoring for the Ligue 1 champions.

Mbappe, crowned the best young player of the World Cup after scoring four goals as Les Bleus triumphed in Russia 2018, said on social media he was tuning into the game from his holiday.

And while Tuchel is excited to have Neymar, Mbappe and Cavani at his disposal for the new Ligue 1 campaign, he is willing to be patient with the trio.
