Without Neymar and Verratti suspended, and deprived of his captain Thiago Silva due to an injury, PSG will be able to count on Edinson Cavani against Dijon this Saturday. The Uruguayan, who scored his 200th goal last Sunday in the Paris jersey, is back on the lawn of the Parc des Princes, just a few weeks after big rumors of transfer.

In football, everything goes very quickly. After almost 300 games played in the Paris Saint-Germain jersey, Edinson Cavani wanted to join Atletico de Madrid this winter. But ultimately, the Uruguayan stayed in the capital. Unloved, he left the bench in January to face a 6th division team in the Coupe de France. But El Matador has returned to the odor of holiness at the Parc des Princes, and is on the way to regaining its place as holder.

"There is only talent left"

Facing Dijon on Saturday, while Neymar is suspended and several pillars of PSG will be absent (Verratti is also suspended, Thiago Silva is injured), Thomas Tuchel announced Friday in a press conference that Edinson Cavani will be titular. The top scorer in the history of the club completely revived last week against Bordeaux, thanks to his 200th goal in Parisian colors. His coach does not want to break the good dynamic of his scorer. "I had the impression that it was time for Edi. With the attackers, that's how it is, with everyone, it's like that: when they score and they are decisive, he doesn't that talent remains, "said Thomas Tuchel.

#Tuchel: "Cavani and Icardi have the same defensive influence on the field. For me, it's more a feeling on which, between the two, can start or enter the field. Edi regained confidence thanks to his 200th goal , no time to cut this. " @ Europe1 Europe1 # # PSGpic.twitter.com / sHuVDk9dlQ

One thing is certain: Edinson Cavani is making his comeback at the right time. Two weeks before the Champions League round of 16 return to Dortmund, where victory will be imperative for the Parisians, the Uruguayan scores points. He has three games ahead of him to confirm his resumption of form, a sine qua non condition to challenge the German club, and why not, write his legend a little more at the Parc des princes.
