Traveling to the Orange Vélodrome, this Sunday at 8:45 p.m. at the end of the 14th day of Ligue 1, Stade Rennais may have to do without its goalkeeper and captain Steve Mandanda. Affected by a virus in recent hours, the former emblematic player of Olympique de Marseille is not sure of being able to hold his place. A point will be made after the night to confirm its presence or not. If he were to give up, Gauthier Gallon, usual understudy, would then have his second start after that of November 9 against Panathinaikos (3-1) in the Europa League.
By deciding to bring three goalkeepers, Julien Stéphan could also integrate Mathys Silistrie (18 years old) for the first time into the professional group. The young goalkeeper trained at the club did not participate in the reserve team’s match this Saturday late in the afternoon and is ready in the event of his eldest’s withdrawal to complete the group.
Last season, Steve Mandanda saw his old crowd again, in Marseille, during the 8th day of Ligue 1. On the other hand, he had already had to withdraw from a second trip to the Marseille city, in mid-January, in the part of the round of 16 of the Coupe de France.
