For Rennes goalkeeper Bruno Génésio, the following players are unavailable: Arnaud Kalimuendo (Dead Leg), Xeka (Ankle Injury), Hamari Traoré (Knock), Lorenz Assignon (Cruciate Ligament Injury), and Martin Terrier (Cruciate Ligament Rupture).
There is only one fitness issue for Lille manager Paulo Fonseca to deal with in a team that is otherwise fully healthy. Dead Leg’s Adam Ounas won’t be performing here. Our impression is that Lille would find it difficult to envision scoring against this Rennes squad, who ought to win.
