Tettey back on the squad against Arles-Avignon
Ligue 1, Arles-Avignon - Stade Rennais, Saturday, 19 :00. Frédéric Antonetti published a list of 18 players to travel to the South of France. Only player present in the squad last week was forced to forfeit for this game: Tongo Hamed Doumbia. He will be replaced by Alexander Tettey, back from injury. Marveaux and Apam are still out of the group.
Three players are still injured at the end of August: Fabien Lemoine is out for several months, Sylvain Marveaux struggles to get over his adductors injury, and Tongo Hamed Doumbia got a knock on his knee this week. As for Onyekachi Apam, who missed the whole pre-season, he keeps on building his fitness after knee surgery in June. He is still to enter Antonetti’s squad.
At midfield, Yann M’Vila, father of his second son today and just selected for the second time with France, should be present. However, Antonetti can also count on Tettey, returning to the squad this week-end after a long thigh injury. He will replace Doumbia in the group.
