PRESSURE ON WEAKENED PSG

-

With Brazilian star striker Neymar ruled out of both legs of the fixture against Manchester United with a foot injury, PSG were further jolted by injury to Edinson Cavani.

The double blow thus leaves Kylian Mbappe (right) as the sole striker upfront and he will be supported by Julian Draxler and Angel di Maria. Fullback Thomas Meunier will also miss out after suffering a concussion. POINT TO PROVE FOR DI MARIA

The Argentine will want to prove a point given that his time at Old Trafford was one of the lowest points of his career. Although bought for a British record transfer fee of £60 million from Real Madrid, he left for PSG at just £44.3million after one year having scored just thrice in the Premier League. At PSG though, he’s had quite an impact given he’s played a part in 70 goals for the club in Ligue 1 during his stay and recently signed an extended contract till 2021.
