Belgrade - Rennes : Antonetti to rotate his squad?

With Stade Rennes getting ready to play four games in ten days, Frédéric Antonetti could be tempted to proceed to a rotation of his squad as soon as this Thursday in Belgrade, L’Équipe announce.

This is what the Rennes manager hinted, explaining that he needs to «make his squad live”. In other words, give some playing time to those who got little or none since the beginning of the season.
According to the newspaper, Kana-Biyik, Théophile-Catherine, Féret, Montaño and M’Vila could sit on the bench this Thursday. Players such as Boye, Mavinga, Camara, Dalmat or Doumbia could therefore be starting the game at the « Marakana » of Belgrade. Meanwhile, Boukari could return at the centre forward position.

Finally, L’Équipe explain the unexpected presence of Cheick N’Diaye in the Rennes squad by shoulder pains suffered by Abdoulaye Diallo. The Senegalese keeper could therefore be shadowing Benoît Costil this Thursday.
