(Reuters) - Paris St Germain's Kylian Mbappe has been ruled out for at least four weeks and his strike partner Edison Cavani for three after they picked up injuries in Sunday's 4-0 Ligue 1 victory over Toulouse, the French champions said on Monday.

Uruguay forward Cavani was substituted after 13 minutes and scans confirmed a hip injury, while Mbappe, who limped off midway through the second half, has damaged his hamstring, PSG said in a statement https://en.psg.fr/teams/first-team/content/medical-update-mbappe-cavani-diallo.

Forward Neymar has not played this season amid uncertainty over the Brazil international's future.
