Rennes: Alfred Gomis recovered, back as a starter against Nantes?
Back from injury, Alfred Gomis is about to return to the Rennes group for the meeting against FC Nantes in midweek. Can he claim a starting place?
Victim of a fractured hand, Alfred Gomis, missed almost two months of competition. The Stade Rennais goalkeeper was injured on March 13 against Lyon during a duel with the striker Moussa Dembélé, causing a penalty converted by the latter. And the Senegalese keeper was not sure to return before the end of the season.
However, he should be operational for the last three games of Ligue 1, starting with FC Nantes this Wednesday (9pm). But will Bruno Genesio take the risk of playing his number 1 goalkeeper, who has recovered from injury, in a high-stakes end of the season?
As a reminder, Stade Rennais is now six points behind the second place occupied by OM while waiting for this late match of the 35th day. The two clubs will face each other this weekend in a summit clash in the race for the Champions League. You will be able to see it abroad on the website Live Cricket Stream in India.
Gomis to start at the end of the season
According to L'Équipe, the coach should respect the hierarchy set up within the squad. In this sense, Alfred Gomis should be a starter for the last three days. The journalist of Le Parisien, Benjamin Quarez, also confirmed this information.
When Gomis was injured, Dogar Alemdar was in charge of the interim. The goalkeeper, who was originally recruited as number 3, also had to compensate for the absence of his counterpart Romain Salin, the current number 2. In his last 8 games in Ligue 1, he made 4 clean sheets and conceded 9 goals.
