Strasbourg predicted XI v Rennes: Andrey Santos and Diego Moreira set to start | OneFootball

Having missed RC Strasbourg Alsace’s Ligue 1 opener against Montpellier HSC, Andrey Santos is expected to start against Stade Rennais on Sunday in the first match of the season at the Meinau.

Liam Rosenior is preparing to take charge of his first home game as Strasbourg manager. He doesn’t have a full squad at his disposal, with players such as Thomas Delaine and Moïse Sahi Dion, both of whom would compete for a place in the line-up, sidelined through injury.

Like many clubs in Ligue 1, RCSA also have their set of ‘undesirables’ that they are looking to force towards a departure. That includes Frédéric Guilbert and Lucas Perrin, two first-team regulars in recent seasons. Neither will be involved against Rennes this afternoon.
