Credited with assist Saturday Cavani was credited with an assist Saturday against West Ham United.

Impact The veteran forward found himself inside the box but with a crowded path to shoot, so he crossed the ball and his delivery found Marcus Rashford, who scored from very close range. The Uruguayan forward only has two goals and two assists this season, though, and has been relegated to a secondary role in most matches.

Makes bench Saturday Cavani (strain) is on the bench for Saturday's match against West Ham.

Impact Cavani returns from his issue and he's healthy enough for the bench Saturday after missing the midweek trip to Brentford. He started the prior three matches before that, but the recent play of Anthony Elanga and this injury has Cavani on the bench.

Impact Cavani missed the club's mid-week matchup with Brentford. With the quick turnaround before Saturday's matchup, Cavani figures to be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI at this point and may need to settle for a spot on the bench.

Impact Cavani had started three straight contests prior to suffering his muscular injury. In those appearances, the forward registered two shots (zero on target), one cross (zero accurate) and three tackles (one won). Once cleared to play, Cavani should be in the mix for regular appearances in the starting XI but is far from a lock to do so.

Scores off bench Cavani scored once on five shots (two on goal) during Monday's one-all draw with Newcastle.

Impact Cavani came off the bench and made a huge impact in the second half the striker earned the equalizer to salvage a point with a smooth finish. Cavani isn't much more than super sub and can't be trusted for fantasy purposes though. Next up is a Thursday clash with Burnley.

Impact Cavani has been on the cusp of returning to the lineup for several matches that were later postponed, so he should be in the mix Monday. With just two starts in eight appearances this year, the forward will likely continue to be held in a reserve role on the bench even once fully fit.

Nearing return to pitch Cavani (strain) could be an option versus Brighton on Saturday. In regard to Tuesday's postponed clash with Brentford, manager Ralf Ranginick told reporters, "Even Edi [Cavani] mig...

Impact The fact that Cavani was close to playing in Tuesday's matchup should clear the way for him to rejoin the squad against Brighton. Still, given the depth of United's squad, Cavani could struggle to break into the starting XI with any consistency, limiting his fantasy value.

Impact Cavani has been out of the squad since Nov. 2 versus Atalanta, a seven-game stretch on the sideline. Even once cleared to play, the forward could struggle for regular appearances in the starting XI but should at least be in contention more often than not.

Should train next week Cavani (strain) is hopeful to begin full training next week, according to manager Ralf Ragnick.

Impact Cavani is back with the team after going back home for a short period last month to recover. He hasn't played in more than a month, but once he gets back in the team, he should have a chance to get some minutes, as it's hard to see Cristiano Ronaldo going a full 90 in all of the holiday fixtures.

Out against Chelsea Cavani (strain) is not in Man United's match day squad for Sunday's clash against Chelsea.

Impact Cavani has been out since the beginning of November with a muscle strain, and he will miss Sunday's game as well. His next opportunity to return will be Thursday against Arsenal.

Status uncertain Sunday Cavani (strain) is questionable to play against Chelsea on Sunday.

Impact Cavani will have an extra day to try to get back into match fitness ahead of Sunday's tilt. Even if cleared to play, the forward is far from a lock for the starting XI and may have to settle for a spot on the bench.

Out against Villarreal Cavani (strain) will miss Tuesday's clash with Villarreal.

Impact It will be the third straight match on the sidelined for Cavani due to his muscular injury. Even once cleared to play, the forward is far from a lock for the starting XI, especially considering he has made just two starts in eight appearances for the club.

Doubt to face Watford Cavani (tendon) remains a doubt for Saturday's match against Watford, according to manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Impact Cavani was unable to recover from his tendon issue over the break, which isn't a good sign. It's an injury he dealt with earlier in the season that kept him out more than a month and it looks like this one will keep him out around a month again.

Dealing with tendon issue Cavani is dealing with the same tendon issue as earlier in the season and will aim to recover over the break.

Impact Cavani missed five of the first six matches of the season with this issue and there's a chance it keeps him out a couple more weeks after missing the Manchester derby. It's an unfortunate time for this to happen because prior to injury, Cavani received a rare start and scored in the win against Tottenham.

Unavailable in derby Cavani is not present in Manchester United's game-day squad list to face City Saturday.

Impact Cavani was expected to get the start in this one, but he will miss out due to an undisclosed injury. Mason Greenwood is partnering with Cristiano Ronaldo up front, while Marcus Rashford is on the bench.

NOVEMBER 1, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Scores in spot start Saturday Cavani scored once, took four shots (one on target) and made one tackle (none won) during the 3-0 victory against Tottenham on Saturday.

Impact Cavani managed to receive a spot start in what was a crucial game for the Red Devils. The experienced striker did not let the fans down, as he notched his first goal of the season in a massive win. Cavani did benefit from playing alongside teammate Cristiano Ronaldo and in a more attacking formation. If he continues to be put in positive situations, he will certainly be worth considering.
