Stade Rennais go face Auxerre on Sunday, and coach Franck Haise don release squad wey no get any injured player, but e still make some big calls. Haise call all di internationals wey go play during di break, except young defender Gonçalo Oliveira. But two regulars, Quentin Merlin and Arnaud Nordin, no dey di list at all.
If no last-minute injury happen, di absence of Merlin and Nordin look like pure sporting decision. Merlin, wey Nagida don push down di left-back order, dey face very rough start to di season. Di former Nantes man start three of five Ligue 1 matches, but e make plenty wrong touches and mistakes. Di friendly against Laval wey end 0-1 during di break no help im case.
Arnaud Nordin own no better. He start for Lyon just like Merlin, and against Laval side e also miss well well. Even if Nordin na bench player, di output still no reach. So Haise decide to leave am out of di group for Auxerre match.
For midfield, Haise call Djaoui Cissé and Henrik Do Marcolino, two midfielders for midfield wey already loaded. Di coach also fit count on Samba, wey don recover from im muscle trouble during di break. So no injury worry dey for di squad, according to di report.
Di likely Rennes XI na: Samba – Reynolds, Cresswell, Rouault, Nagida – Camara, Rongier (captain), Thomasson – Mayenda, Lepaul, Al-Tamari. Bench go get Lemaître (goalkeeper), Frankowski, Ait Boudlal, Do Marcolino, Cissé, Blas, Szymanski, Dia, and Soumaré.
