Cavani & Meunier to miss Man Utd vs PSG Champions League last-16 clash

Paris Saint-Germain have been dealt a further blow ahead of their Champions League last-16 clash against Manchester United with the news that Edinson Cavani and Thomas Meunier will miss the game.

The Uruguayan striker limped off of PSG's 1-0 win over Bordeaux with a thigh problem after scoring the Ligue 1 encounter's only goal of the game.

Coach Thomas Tuchel admitted on Sunday that it would be "very difficult" for Cavani to be fit for Tuesday's first leg at Old Trafford.
