On bench Monday Cavani (calf) is on the bench for Monday's match against Brentford.

Impact Cavani is back in the squad Monday after getting in a couple days of training. He's likely only fit enough for a few minutes, though he hasn't played in more than a month, so he may only be an emergency option behind Cristiano Ronaldo.

Impact Cavani could be in training Friday, but this doesn't mean a ton because he'll likely need a couple full days before he can play again. He's been out more than a month with a muscle injury and even then, Cristiano Ronaldo is healthy and going to start in every match the rest of the way if available.

Impact Cavani was just two matches back from a groin problem and now could be sidelined for nearly the rest of the season. Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho should both see additional minutes with Cavani on the shelf. Even once given the all-clear, the club could opt to keep Cavani as a bench option.

Picks up calf problem Cavani was forced off in the 26th minute of Uruguay's matchup with Chile on Tuesday with a calf problem, ESPN reports.

Impact Cavani has struggled with injuries this season and hasn't made a start for Manchester United since Feb. 8 versus Burnley. If the forward is sidelined again, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford are both candidates to feature in the starting XI against Leicester City on Saturday.

Could return Saturday Cavani (groin) is reportedly an option against Tottenham on Saturday after manager Ralf Rangnick told reporters, "What's important is that he (Cristiano Ronaldo) and Edi are both b...

Impact This is not the first time that Cavani has supposedly been ready to get back onto the pitch, so fantasy players may want to take this with a grain of salt. The forward has missed six straight contests for the club due to his lingering groin issue. If he does feature in the starting XI, Cavani could be a solid top-end fantasy option given his offensive upside.

Impact Cavani has missed United's last four Premier League games with a groin injury and he is out again Sunday despite making progress in his recovery this week. He will target next weekend's clash against Tottenham to make his return.

Impact Cavani has been sidelined for the club's last five contests due to his groin problem but appears ready to at least make the match-day squad. Prior to his absence, the forward started four of the team's last five contests and could be in the mix to reclaim a spot in the starting XI once given the all-clear.

Unavailable against Watford Cavani (groin) will miss Saturday's clash against Watford, Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick confirmed Friday.

Impact Cavani has missed United's last three Premier League games with a groin injury, and he is out Saturday as well. Cristiano Ronaldo will most likely lead the line once again for the game.

Impact Cavani hasn't trained for a couple weeks, so it seems like he'll be out another week. He had that one positive start at Burnley, but picked up the injury and hasn't been able to return. That being the case, Cristiano Ronaldo should continue to start every match up front for United.

FEBRUARY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Targeting UCL return Cavani (groin) won't be an option versus Leeds United on Sunday but could return to the squad for Wednesday's Champions League matchup with Atletico Madrid.

Impact Cavani will be out of action for his third straight matchup due to his lingering groin problem, his second extended absence of the season. Even if the forward does travel for Wednesday's UCL clash, he is far from a lock for the starting XI and could be held in reserve as a substitute option.

FEBRUARY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Pictured in training Cavani (groin) was pictured in training Thursday ahead of Sunday's trip to Leeds.

Impact Cavani has missed the last two matches with a groin issue, but it looks like he'll be in contention again Sunday. Given the busy schedule with Champions League ahead, there's a chance Cavani takes over for Cristiano Ronaldo on Sunday, though that's far from a guarantee at this point.

FEBRUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Battling groin injury Cavani won't be available for Tuesday's match against Brighton because of a groin injury, according to manager Ralf Rangnick.

Impact Cavani was an absence over the weekend and his issue will keep him out at least one more match. It doesn't seem like a serious problem, but given his age and how he's already missed extended periods the last year, there's a chance he could be out another week or two.

FEBRUARY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable against Southampton Cavani did not make Manchester United's match-day squad list to face Southampton Saturday.

Impact Cavani had started in four of the previous six matches. It is unclear whether his absence is injury-related or simply load management after he played midweek. Cristiano Ronaldo is leading the frontline in this one.

FEBRUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Burnley Cavani is in the starting XI over Cristiano Ronaldo for Tuesday's match against Burnley.

Impact Cavani has been with the team for a few days following international duty and on a short week, he's surprisingly in the XI over Ronaldo. That being the case, he probably won't play a full 90, but given the matchup, there will be opportunities for Cavani to hit the back of the net Tuesday.

FEBRUARY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will return to squad Tuesday Cavani (not injury related) will be an option against Burnley on Tuesday.

Impact Cavani missed the team's FA Cup matchup with Middlesbrough while traveling back from international duty but will be ready and available Tuesday. In his last five outings (three starts) the forward has registered one goal on seven shots (two on target), one assist and one cross (inaccurate). If Cavani can secure his place in the starting XI, he should be a solid fantasy target moving forward.

FEBRUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returning late from international duty Cavani is returning late from international duty and won't be an option for Friday's FA Cup match.

Impact Cavani is staying a couple extra days in Uruguay, which is something he's done before. He should return over the weekend and be ready for Tuesday's trip to Burnley, but given his absence from the squad, he probably won't be asked to start.
