Injuries have kept the star away from the pitch for many weeks. This time has been enough to raise doubts over whether he is the main attacker, ahead of Icardi, who is shining with some good performances.
But Tuchel, the team's coach, made it clear in a press conference that Cavani could start in the next game. This would put an end to his "starting drought" of around two and a half months. He already played in the game against Olympique Marseille, but he came on as a substitute in the 71st minute.
The doubt is in his competition with Icardi. During his absence and clearly in the last few weeks, he has been the main man in this position in the coach's starting 11. Now he has a choice between relying on the same scheme, or letting Cavani return.
The numbers are in the Argentine's favour, who also overcomes the beginnings of Neymar, Zlatan and Mbappe in the team. In any case, it will be necessary to wait for the ball to roll to verify what decision the PSG coach has finally made.
