PSG’s versatile midfielder Senny Mayulu (20) has received a first senior France call-up, as announced by the French FA. The youngster is the fourth player to have been called up by Zinédine Zidane for the first time this international break, after Paris FC winger Pablo Pagis, Wolfsburg right-back Saël Kumbedi and Bournemouth centre-forward Eli Junior Kroupi. Mayulu was already at Clairefontaine this week given he has been called up by France U21 manager Gérald Baticle.

Mayulu will join Zidane’s senior group as the latter has been rocked by injuries. Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni has left the France camp. His club teammate Kylian Mbappé is set to miss out on tomorrow’s away game against Italy for Matchday 5 of the UEFA Nations League. Les Bleus will face Roberto Mancini’s Azzurri at San Siro. France will then host Türkiye at Bordeaux on Sunday.
