With Mavinga, without Brahimi against Paris
Publié le 12 August 2011 à 19h13 byLigue 1, Stade rennais - Paris Saint-Germain, Saturday at 19:00. Frédéric Antonetti called a group of eighteen players for the reception of Paris Saint-Germain. Despite some uncertainty around the participations of Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik, Tongo Hamed Doumbia and Yann M' Vila during the week, all three players seem like to hold their place on Saturday, for the second game week of the Ligue 1 season.
After the beautiful victory in Dijon last week, for the opening of the Ligue 1 season, Frédéric Antonetti decided to rely on a group of eighteen players for the hosting of the French capital’s club, tomorrow at the Route de Lorient stadium.
A group in which M’Vila, Kana-Biyik and Doumbia, doubtful during the week, are all included. Indeed, despite a knock received to the ankle during the match of Wednesday against Chile, Yann M’ Vila should definitely hold his place at midfield. Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik, who had to leave his position at the beginning of the second half during the match between Dijon and Rennes, because of a small sprain to the ankle, is also fully recovered for this game.
On the other hand, Yacine Brahimi has been left to rest, just as Jirès Kembo Ekoko and Vincent Pajot who recently returned training and should be operational in the next days.
Besides, Chris Mavinga’s first appearance is the only real change brought by the Rennes coach to his group. The U20 international defender replaces Yassine Jebbour within the group called by the Corsican trainer
