Habib Beye Needs to Strategically Sacrifice Two Key Players in Toulouse

Habib Beye is still in charge for now. He was kept on by president Arnaud Pouille to lead the Stade Rennais match against Toulouse this Wednesday. However, another poor performance could result in his dismissal, as he has struggled to find the right formula this season with only 2 wins in 9 matches. He will use this opportunity to assert his authority over the team.

According to L’Equipe, the coach has chosen to leave out Ludovic Blas (2 goals, 1 assist, 8 matches) and Seko Fofana (9 matches, 1 goal) for this trip. Both players are key members of his squad, though not injured, and will not be included in the team. This is a technical decision, as both the former Lens and Nantes players have shown inconsistent performances since the season began in August, reflecting the struggles of the entire team.
