Rennes

Rennes handed first starts to Arnaud Nordin, Eliezer Mayenda and Boulaye Dia against Lyon. Mayenda and Dia remain options this weekend — Dia as an alternative to Esteban Lepaul up front and Mayenda to Ludovic Blas out wide — while Nordin is not registered.

The full squad trained this week, with all the returning internationals free of physical problems. Przemysław Frankowski is expected to start at right-back ahead of Bryan Reynolds, while Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal, preferred to Anthony Rouault, is expected to partner Charlie Cresswell in central defence.

Auxerre

Auxerre will be without Christ Makosso, who is suspended after reaching his card tally and had started four of the side's last five matches. Sinaly Diomandé is expected to take his place on the right of the back three, with Elikya Legros the alternative.

Further forward, Rémy Labeau Lascary is expected to keep his place after being withdrawn in each of his four starts, including at half-time in the Brest win, with Romain Faivre again the alternative. Naouirou Ahamada, who came on at half-time last time out, is the alternative to Arthur Piedfort in midfield.
