Stade Rennais will be without Benjamin Bourigeaud as they make the trip to face Toulouse FC on Sunday. The Frenchman suffered an ankle injury during Thursday’s UEFA Europa League defeat to Villarreal and left Roazhon Park on crutches.
In Bourigeaud’s absence, Désiré Doué looks set to start for Les Rennais as they travel to face an out-of-form TéFéCé. Rennes aren’t in top form either and have been sporadic since Julien Stéphan returned to take the reins at the club. He looks set to tinker with his side on Sunday.
Amine Gouiri could start up-front with Arnaud Kalimuendo, who is struggling for form this season, set for the bench. Ludovic Blas, who has played a more peripheral role since Stéphan’s arrival, is also unlikely to start.
