PSG Young Superstar Senny Mayulu Receives Maiden France Call Up

This final international break of 2026 saw fewer PSG players than usual named in the France senior squad for their upcoming UEFA Nations League games with Italy and Turkey this week. 

Lucas Digne and Lucas Hernandez were simply not called up, whilst Ousmane Dembele is still nursing the injury that has kept him out of action since the UEFA Champions League win at home to FC Barcelona last month. Lucas Chevalier is not even in the conversation these days. 

So, the only representatives in Luis Enrique's squad this time round were Warren Zaire-Emery and Desire Doue, just the two players named in the original squad by new manager Zinedine Zidane. 

However, that number has just increased to three. Indeed so, as today, Wednesday the 11th of November in the early afternoon CET, the France national team have officially confirmed that PSG youngster Senny Mayulu has been called up to the senior squad for the first time. 

The 20-year old had originally been in the France U21 squad for their friendlies with Italy and England during this break, but he will now join up with the senior side, presumably because of the injury picked up by Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni that has meant he has now returned to his club. 

Wow, what an opportunity for Mayulu, who gets to learn from a legendary midfielder like Zidane, as well as train and play with so many great players in the France squad. Pretty cool to have two 20-year old PSG midfielders in the squad too, both of whom have come from the academy. That is something for the club to be very proud of it, it really cannot be overstated. 

Les Blues will play Italy tomorrow evening (the 12th) away from home at 20:45, before hosting Turkey on Sunday at the same time, as they try and make sure they win their Nations League group, giving them a runner up and second leg at home in the quarter-finals that will take place during the next international break in March of next year. 

It is probably unlikely Mayulu gets many minutes over the next two games, but what an experience this will be for him in any case, and no doubt that will benefit PSG too moving forwards. Many congratulations, a great achievement and vindication for all of his hard work.
