It has now been four seasons since Adrien Truffert found a place in the Stade Rennais pro group. At just 22 years old, the left-back has played 153 matches (for 6 goals), and is already one of the defenders who has played the most matches with the Rouge et Noir in the 21st century.
So stop or still? Present at the pre-match press conference, he explained that he had not yet asked himself the question of his presence, or not, in the Rennes squad next season: “I still have two years of contract left and the season is not over yet, there are three big matches left. »
“The Euro with the Blues? If I get caught, I’ll go (laughing)”
The French international (30 selections combined with the U19 and U18 hopefuls) was also asked about the possibility of his presence with the Blues at the Paris Olympic Games this summer. Has Stade Rennais already given him its agreement, in the event that the defender joins the group concocted by Thierry Henry? ” No not yet, replies the person concerned. The season is not over, and I already have to be selected. We will wait for the list and I will respect the club’s decision, they are the employer. »
Another possible deadline to come for the native of Liège (Belgium) – perhaps more improbable (although…) – a presence with the selection of Didier Deschamps in the France A team for the Euro could be possible. “If I’m caught, I’m going to go there, obviously (laugh) »he himself amused himself a little.
However, since the announcement this afternoon of the withdrawal of Lucas Hernandez, injured in the cruciate ligament during his Champions League match with PSG against Dortmund, on Wednesday, the chances of seeing him wear the tricolor tunic from June 14 to 14 July 2024 increase. “I don’t choose, but these are things that come with the club’s performances. I still have a lot to work on in any case, I am aware of that. But I’m not the one who makes the lists. »
Let us still remember that his first – and only – selection with the A, on September 20, 2022, came to replace Lucas Digne and… Theo Hernandez, packages. “Bis Repeat” this year?
