Francis Coquelin Injury: Could return against Rennes

Coquelin (undisclosed) could be part of the squad for Saturday's derby against Rennes, coach Luis Castro said in the press conference, according to Maxime Buchot from Tele Nantes Info.

Coquelin didn't train on Thursday but could still be included in the squad for Saturday's derby against Rennes. The veteran has been struggling with injuries and would likely be eased back into action to avoid setbacks if he is deemed fit for the game. Hyun-Seok Hong is expected to take on a bigger role until Coquelin returns to full fitness.
