Stade Rennais will be without Arnaud Nordin for the Breton derby against FC Nantes on Sunday afternoon, however, they will be able to count on the return of Valentin Roniger, who missed last weekend’s comfortable win over RC Strasbourg Alsace (0-3) due to suspension.
Rongier will return to captain the Rennes side, but Franck Haise has a decision to make regarding who partners him in the midfield. It is a toss-up between Mahdi Camara and Sébastien Szymanski. L’Équipe understands that it is the former who is expected to be given the nod at Roazhon Park on Sunday afternoon.
Rennes are also without Jérémy Jacquet and Przemyslaw Frankowski. The Poland international has returned to first-team training but is not fit to face Les Canaris.
