Rennes predicted XI v Nantes: No fresh injury concerns for Habib Beye in Breton derby | OneFootball

Habib Beye doesn’t have any fresh injury concerns as Stade Rennais prepare to host FC Nantes in a Breton derby on Friday night.

Alidu Seidu, who suffered an ACL injury earlier in the campaign, is the only major injury that Rennes are currently contending with. Otherwise, Beye has a full squad to pick from against Les Canaris. Beye is expected to deploy his side in a 3-5-2 this evening.

Djaoui Cissé is expected to get the nod in midfield ahead of the likes of Ismaël Koné and Jordan James. Seko Fofana and Azor Matusiwa are also expected to start. Arnaud Kalimuendo and Ludovic Blas will lead the line for Rennes. Former Montpellier HSC forward Mousa Al-Taamari will start from the bench, as will Kyogo Furuhashi.
