Ibrahim Mbaye’s situation at the club is becoming increasingly precarious as he has not played since returning from the March 2026 international break. The young Senegalese player is currently not dealing with any injuries, yet he has seen no action in recent fixtures.
Since his return, Mbaye has been absent from two key matches: he did not feature at all against Toulouse in Ligue 1 or during the Champions League quarter-finals against Liverpool. This trend has raised concerns about his status within Luis Enrique’s squad.
Most recently, Mbaye was completely omitted from the squad to face Lyon in Ligue 1 this Sunday, highlighting his growing estrangement from the team amid fierce competition for places.
