Not injured. Not ill. Just not on the bus.
Senny Mayulu stayed in Paris on Sunday while the squad flew to Rennes. The 20-year-old midfielder had played against Lens and Aston Villa days earlier, so the fitness excuse never held up.
L’Equipe report the reason is simpler and harsher: a week of training Luis Enrique judged below the level of the rest. No statement from the club. No explanation to the press. Mayulu was just left off the list.

Dembele and Kvaratskhelia got the same lesson
The young man was not the only one made an example of. Two goals down at half-time in Brittany, PSG’s coach took off Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia together. Two starters. Two internationals. Gone at the break.
Paris salvaged a 2-2. The scoreline is not what people are talking about this morning. At the reigning European champions, seniority buys nothing.
Six weeks in and the rules are already set
Luis Enrique has picked his hill early. The message reads identically for a 20-year-old and for the dressing room’s biggest names: what you do at Poissy decides whether you play on Sunday.
Nobody at PSG has said how long Mayulu stays in the cold.
