Senny Mayulu Suffers Injury On France U21 Duty In Fresh Fitness Blow For PSG

During the 2027 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers, Senny Mayulu started for the France Under-21s against Estonia on Tuesday, September 29, 2026. The evening was cut short for the academy-trained attacking midfielder, who picked up a sudden muscle injury while stretching after a deep cross. Suffering from a suspected groin issue, the 20-year-old was forced off and replaced by Noé Lebreton in the 42nd minute just before half-time.

The setback overshadowed the night for Gérald Baticle‘s side, who had already lost Ethan Mbappé to an early injury during the first half. France Under-21s still managed to secure a 2-0 victory courtesy of goals from Steve Ngoura and Jean-Mattéo Bahoya. Yet, this hard-fought win leaves a bitter taste following the double injury blow.

This setback comes at the worst possible time for Luis Enrique, who faces a punishing schedule as soon as club football resumes. Paris Saint-Germain are set to host Le Mans in Ligue 1 on Saturday, October 10, 2026 at the Parc des Princes, before a crucial trip to face Man City on Wednesday, October 14, 2026 in the Champions League. Losing a valuable asset in midfield squad rotation would significantly restrict the Spanish manager’s tactical options in the coming weeks.

Under contract in Paris until 2031, Senny Mayulu faces an untimely halt to his campaign. Medical tests will determine the exact nature of the injury and his spell on the sidelines. The coaching staff will hope to avoid a prolonged layoff for the young midfielder.
