The Paris Saint-Germain striker has only made a brief substitute appearance in the last two months, but Edinson Cavani is back in training.

Edinson Cavani has returned to Paris Saint-Germain training ahead of the end of the Ligue 1 season.

Uruguay international Cavani sustained a hip injury against Bordeaux on February 9 and has only made one brief appearance as a substitute since.

But in a further boost for PSG head coach Thomas Tuchel after Neymar trained this week, Cavani took part in running drills during Friday's session.

Cavani has hit 17 goals in 16 Ligue 1 games this term but his absence has allowed Kylian Mbappe to take a central role.
