Rennes predicted XI v Metz: Seko Fofana out, Breel Embolo to start | OneFootball

Habib Beye has almost a full squad to pick from as he looks to continue his own personal redemption arc at Stade Rennais. On the verge of being sacked at the end of October, Rennes have won each of their last three games, including netting four goals against both RC Strasbourg Alsace and AS Monaco.

Seko Fofana is the only big-name absentee for the Breton club against FC Metz this evening. However, Beye has plenty of decisions to make. At the back, there may be no room for Anthony Rouault, Alidu Seidu, or Quentin Merlin; the much more attack-minded Moussa Al-Taamari may be favoured over the latter at left-wing-back. 

Up front, Breel Embolo is expected to start for Rennes, alongside the prolific and undroppable Esteban Lepaul.
