Rennes

Esteban Lepaul remains doubtful with the ankle injury that kept him out against Juventus. Boulaye Dia, who has scored three times in the last five games, is expected to continue up front, although Lepaul remains the alternative if he is fit.

Further back, Valentin Rongier is preferred to Djaoui Cisse in central midfield, and Mahamadou Nagida is expected at left-back ahead of Przemysław Frankowski, who did not play against Juventus despite starting three of the previous four matches. Sebastian Szymański should return to the starting eleven alongside Adrien Thomasson and Ludovic Blas.

Strasbourg

Strasbourg are set to be without Sebastian Nanasi again, with the forward limited to running laps this week and expected to miss the visit of Rennes. Fábio Baldé, handed his first start against PSG, is doubtful with a lower-leg issue, while Samuel Amo-Ameyaw is expected to return to the starting eleven after coming off the bench in that game.

In defence, Karim Coulibaly is preferred to Ismaël Doukouré, who was back training normally this week after his own injury. Martial Godo, who has also been out, is closing in on a return of his own.
