Rennes at full strength, minor tweaks for Lyon trip | OneFootball

Rennes, co-leaders in Ligue 1 with Lille and Monaco, visit Lyon on Saturday at 20:45. According to L'Équipe, Franck Haise has a full squad and should make only minor adjustments.

Haise could refresh his XI again after recent rotation. There were three changes from Angers, 2-1, on 6 September to Marseille, 1-0, on the 11th, then further tweaks before the 0-0 at Sturm Graz on Wednesday in European competition.

The coach could consider recalls for Valentin Rongier, Quentin Merlin and Przemyslaw Frankowski to the starting line-up.

Up front, after stalling in Austria, the pecking order of Al-Tamari, Lepaul and Blas may shift. Eliezer Mayenda, the €22m attacking recruit so far restricted to cameos, could be handed a first start.

Haise also wants more cutting edge from his wide players, Al-Tamari, Blas, Mayenda, Soumaré and Nordin, who have yet to score. Greater output would ease the burden on Lepaul.
