Mbappe has been ruled out for at least four weeks and strike partner Cavani for three after they both picked up injuries in Sunday's 4-0 win over Toulouse.
Uruguay forward Cavani was substituted after 13 minutes with scans later confirming a hip injury, while Mbappe, who limped off midway through the second half, has damaged his hamstring.
Neymar has not played this season amid uncertainty over his future.
Cavani and Mbappe will miss PSG's league games against Metz, Strasbourg and Olympique Lyonnais but could return before they face Reims on September 25.
