Cavani returns to PSG squad after Atleti move falls through

The Edinson Cavani saga in the January transfer window has ended. After being linked with Atletico Madrid for months, a last minute disagreement over the terms of the deal ended up preventing the move from being completed. 

Therefore, the Uruguayan will remain at PSG at least until next summer. The Parisians face Montpellier in matchday 22 of the Ligue 1 campaign this Saturday. 

A game for which Tuchel has decided to bring back Cavani, who now appears in the list alongside Mbappe and Neymar in the PSG attack.

The PSG coach has already announced that he would select Cavani in the pre-match press conference. "If he continues to be our player, I hope he is ready."

The experienced striker had been left of the French Cup tie with Pau as well as Neymar and Keylor Navas. The Uruguayan's absence on that occasion was linked with his imminent arrival at Atletico. In the end, Cavani will play for PSG for another five months.
