PARIS (AP) \u2014 Teenage forward Ibrahim Mbaye had to stay behind for a while when his Paris Saint-Germain teammates flew to Marseille for a league game on Monday.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because the 17-year-old Mbaye was taking a high school diploma exam \u2014 known in French as baccalaur\u00e9at \u2014 during the day. PSG said he was traveling separately to join his 18 teammates for the 8 p.m. kick off at Stade Velodrome.<\/p>\n

Mbaye made his Ligue 1 debut at the age of 16 years, 6 months, 23 days against Le Havre last season, making him the youngest PSG player to start a league game. He signed his first contract in February and has scored one goal for the club.<\/p>\n

Defending champion PSG has won its four league games so far.<\/p>\n
