Senny Mayulu called up by Zidane as Mbappé doubt grows
Zidane calls up the PSG youngster amid uncertainty over Mbappé; he arrives from the Under-21s for his first senior France experience.
Coach Zinédine Zidane has called up Senny Mayulu, of Paris Saint-Germain, to bolster France amid uncertainty over Kylian Mbappé. The call-up comes this Wednesday, and the player, who was with the Under-21s, joins the senior squad for the first time.
According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the decision also responds to Aurélien Tchouaméni's absence, and Mbappé is not expected to play against Italy. Mayulu, born in 2006, has almost 100 matches for PSG, two Champions League titles and a goal in the final against Inter.
This season he has 9 appearances, with 3 goals and 2 assists in around 350 minutes.
