Paris Saint-Germain coach Thomas Tuchel has clarified that Edinson Cavani is no longer injured but has not included him in his squad for Sunday's Ligue 1 match against Lille.

The forward is wanted by Atletico Madrid and although the German tactician has previously claimed that it was injury keeping him out of recent PSG squads, he has confirmed that this is no longer the case.

Layvin Kurzawa has been linked with a move to Juventus, and Tuchel touched on the full-back's situation while also explaining Cavani's predicament.

"It is still not clear, which is why Kurzawa will not be with the squad against Lille. The same goes for Edinson Cavani.

"It is better if they stay home to think about things," he added.

"It is better that Kurzawa and Cavani do not come [with the squad to Lille].

"They have to think and find a solution.

"Cavani is no longer injured," Tuchel confirmed.
