Cavani accelerates recovery and should be ready to face Real Madrid Champions League They meet in Paris on September 18

Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid will meet in the first matchday of the 2019/20 Champions League group stages and there is good news for the French side as they should have Edinson Cavani available for the match.

With Neymar suspended and Kylian Mbappe also injured, the Uruguayan's hip injury was an additional headache.

However, Le Parisien are reporting that he has recovered quicker than expected and that he could even take on Strasbourg this weekend.

PSG don't want to rush him back, but do want him to earn some minutes to recover match sharpness in Ligue 1.

Then comes the blockbuster clash with Los Blancos, next Wednesday night.
