Kana-Biyik returns, specific session for M’Vila

Will Frédéric Antonetti be able to rely on Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik against RC Lens? One thing is sure, the former Le Havre player was training at la Piverdière this morning. The Centre back trained normally, notably taking part in all exercises with the balls.
Meanwhile, Yann M’Vila only completed a light jogging around the pitch. Just as Yacine Brahimi and Kader Mangane, who were followed by fitness coach Kévin Plantet.

Jirès Kembo-Ekoko, after returning to training yesterday, was handicapped by a pain in his thigh, according to Le Télégramme. This morning, he limited his training to a jogging session with his team-mates.
It is unlikely that Brahimi, Kembo or Mangane would feature in Antonetti’s squad this Saturday for the game against Lens.

Also returning is Cameroon international Georges Mandjeck. Suffering with his thigh since the beginning of the week, the Rennes midfielder didn’t feel any pain during training. Kévin Théophile-Catherine was also absent, after receiving a knock yesterday. Bira Dembélé and Frank Julienne also trained with the professional squad today.
