Zinedine Zidane has called up Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Senny Mayulu to the France squad for the Nations League matches against Italy and Turkey. It is his first call-up to the senior side; the 20-year-old had been with the France Espoirs.

The selection follows absences. Aurélien Tchouaméni is out with a groin injury. ESPN reports that Kylian Mbappé sat out training on Wednesday with hamstring trouble and is set to miss the game against Italy. RMC says Mayulu can play in several positions.

Mayulu has made four appearances for PSG this season, scoring twice and providing two assists, with an average rating of 7.46. Golviva values him at €43m, slightly above his €40m market value on Transfermarkt.
