Thomas Tuchel reveals that Edinson Cavani could be part of Paris Saint-Germain's squad for Wednesday's tie with Manchester United, having missed the last seven matches.

Edinson Cavani has trained with the rest of his Paris Saint-Germain teammates ahead of Wednesday's Champions League meeting with Manchester United.

The Uruguayan striker missed the first leg of the last-16 tie because of a hip injury he picked up against Bordeaux last month, sustained when converting a penalty in the 1-0 win.

Already without fellow forward Neymar for the clash at the Parc des Princes, PSG were expected to have to make do without Cavani, who has missed his side's last seven matches.

In a huge boost on the eve of the United game, however, the 32-year-old came through a couple of sessions at the club's training base and may now considered available for selection.

"He took part in the last two training sessions in full, but we are going to wait until tomorrow," PSG boss Thomas Tuchel said at his pre-match press conference. "We have decided to wait and make a decision on his participation in the game tomorrow."

PSG will take a 2-0 lead into the second leg thanks to goals from Presnel Kimpembe and Kylian Mbappe at Old Trafford.
