[CdF] Alidu Seidu and Amine Gouiri withdraw, change of goalkeeper against the Girondins for Rennes

It is this Sunday that Stade Rennais travels to the Girondins de Bordeaux for the 32nd round of the Coupe de France.

The Breton club, via its coach at a press conference, carried out a medical update. As expected, it will be without Alidu Seiduvictim of a rupture of the cruciate ligaments of the knee, and recently operated successfully. His season is probably over. Touched during the last championship match against SCO Angers, Amine Gouiri will not be present on Sunday in Gironde either, as one might have expected. It will be put to rest in view of the deadlines at the start of the year. “He is recovering, I don’t think he will be there in Bordeaux.”

There will also be a change of goalkeeper, other competition requires. So, Steve Mandanda will not be on the pitch at Matmut Atlantique, and will probably meet his brother Over on the benches. Indeed, the usual number 2, Gauthier Gallon, should be established.

However, the Rennes coach Jorge Sampaoli
should not make a big turnover, as he confided to

West France.

“We need to consolidate our style. It’s a very important match in a new competition, where we hope to go far.”

Note that several players are announced as starters for the next winter transfer window according to L'Equipe, which also creates uncertainty: Ahamada, Wooh, Meister (p.), Jota, G. Kamara, Santamaria.
