Mbappe injured a thigh and Cavani his hip last month, and PSG said the two strikers will resume the full training by the end of the week after revealing they would miss Wednesday’s clash at the Parc des Princes.
PSG will also be without Neymar, who scored an added-time winner against Strasbourg in his first start of the season on Sunday, as he has to serve a three-match suspension in the Champions League for insulting the referee following his side’s elimination by Manchester United last season.
PSG have Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and recently arrived Mauro Icardi as options in the center of the attack.
