PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN stars headed out to celebrate Thiago Silva's birthday over the weekend... but Edinson Cavani was nowhere to be seen.
Kylian Mbappe took to Twitter to share an image of virtually the entire squad posing for the camera behind a stunning-looking spread.
French youngster Mbappe, 18, posted the image, captioned with celebration emojis.
However, one glaring omission from the image is Uruguayan forward Cavani, whose future at the Ligue 1 giants has been called into question lately.
The gossip all started after Cavani and Neymar very publicly fell-out on the field of play while arguing over who should take a penalty during a 2-0 win over Lyon.
While Cavani won the battle, he missed the spot-kick and arguably lost the war as Neymar immediately unfollowed him on Instagram.
The pair's animosity wasn't helped by Neymar's international team-mate Dani Alves, who withheld the ball from Cavani in the Lyon game over a free-kick.
Reports then began to fly suggesting world-record shattering Neymar - signed by PSG for £198million this summer - wanted Cavani out of the club as soon as possible.

In a desperate bid to keep the feuding duo apart, PSG even offered Cavani an £880,000 bonus to give up penalty responsibilities, according to reports.
Neymar and Cavani appeared to calm their tempestuous relationship last week, as they were spotted training side-by-side for the Ligue 1 clash with Montpellier.
However, PSG slumped to a 0-0 draw and lost their 100 per cent record in the process, with Neymar missing the game through injury.
