Stade Rennais can hope to continue their momentum into the second half of the season. Bruno Genesio will be able to count on a reinforcement.
Stade Rennais has successfully prepared. On Thursday, the SRFC dominated Stade Brestois in the last preparation match (3-1). A brace from Martin Terrier and a goal from Jérémy Doku allowed Rennes to overcome Brest. The Breton club can now calmly await its return to competition. It will be next Thursday on the lawn of the Stade de Reims. The meeting is valid for the 16th day of the championship. For this manifesto, Bruno Genesio could count on the return of a coach. Already returning after the World Cup, Steve Mandanda claims a starting place against the Champagne club. The Rennes goalkeeper has only played one match during the World Cup. It was during the defeat of the Blues in Chickens against Tunisia. In addition to Mandanda, another return to the Rennes group is announced.
Stade Rennais: Genesio makes a great comeback in defense
After Stade Rennais’ victory against Brest, Bruno Genesio spoke about Warmed Omari’s return to the field. The young centre-back is one of the long-term injured players in the SRFC squad. Long hampered by groin pain, the 22-year-old defender had yet to play a single game this season. These preparatory matches allowed him to orient himself before his return to competition. His last appearance in competitive competition came on 21 May against Lille in Ligue 1. Bruno Genesio is happy to be able to count on his young defender for the second half of the season.
“The more it goes, the better. Physically it is 100%. He needed points of reference, to rediscover the sensations of the matches”said the coach of Rennes, currently 3rd in the league.
