Training: the injured players return

During the international break which started Monday, Frédéric Antonetti probably hopes to get back as much injured players as possible.

After the players were allowed to rest since the last match against Lille, training resumed on Thursday morning at La Piverdière. A first session focused on stamina, for the Rennes’ players, including Razak Boukari, Yacine Brahimi and Kader Mangane, who are therefore not so far from their comebacks.

Also present, according to the club’s announcement, Jonathan Pitroipa seems to have obtained from his selector to stay in Brittany. The international player from Burkina Faso was initially called up for a match with no stake against Gambia next week-end.
