Cavani was a big player for Manchester United last season and scored 17 goals in all competitions after starting the term slowly due to injuries, suspensions and other disruptions.
The veteran forward agreed to stay on at Manchester Unite for one more year but there were question marks over his future when Cristiano Ronaldo joined the club at the end of the transfer window.
The striker is currently recovering from his injury and Solskjaer claimed that he will be back in training next week with the possibility of him playing against West Ham on Wednesday night in the EFL Cup.
He wants Cavani to be back in the team while being completely fit and insisted that the Uruguayan will play a major role for his team this season.
The Manchester United manager said in a press conference: “Edinson hopefully will start training with us after the weekend, maybe Monday, so maybe involved on Wednesday.
“He had a fantastic season last season, the impact he made when he got his fitness, he struggles with niggly injuries early on.
“We feel that to get the best out of him this season we need to get him 100 per cent fit and not rush him.
“We’ve got a strong squad that will cope with having to let players heal and not risk any further injuries.
“I see Edinson having a massive impact, he’s that type of personality and player.
“He can’t wait to play and he’s working really hard to get back on the pitch.”
Solskjaer is hopeful that the veteran striker will add more goals to his tally as Manchester United look to end their four-year run without a trophy.
