Arsenal take on Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Quoted by the Mirror, Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has warned his teammates that they must be wary of Edinson Cavani when they take on Paris Saint-Germain this week.
The Gunners travel to the Parc des Princes on Tuesday to take on the Ligue 1 champions in the first game of their Champions League campaign.
Not many are expecting them to get a result from the game, with Unai Emery’s side very much the favourites for the clash.
His side is full of attacking talent, but Giroud warns that Cavani is the man that can truly hurt them if he has a good evening.
“Cavani is a player who can make the difference. If he has a big night, he can hurt us,” the Mirror quotes him saying.
“Paris are the favourites in this group. They will be ready. Let’s make them doubt themselves. We are expecting tough opposition when we get there.”
Whether Cavani can have a good game will rest on what defence the Gunners can put out for the encounter.
Laurent Koscielny is a major doubt for the clash, according to the Guardian, after picking up an eye injury in the win over Southampton this weekend.
If he ends up missing out, that will mean summer signing Rob Holding will have to come in once again, something that a world class striker such as Cavani will be more than keen to take advantage of.
