Stade Rennais suffered a heavy defeat against Ajaccio in Ligue 1 last weekend, and the absence of John Boye was evident. However, there’s hope as the Ghanaian defender may join the squad for the Round of 16 of the Coupe de France at Abbé Deschamps, scheduled for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
After a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to pubalgia, John Boye is eager to secure a starting role in central defense. He could make his return against Auxerre this Wednesday. Philippe Montanier hinted at Boye’s inclusion in the starting lineup, noting, “It’s a possibility because Cédric Hountondji has been playing frequently and is starting to feel fatigued. John is making a good comeback, and his enthusiasm is evident. He brings discipline and determination, embodying the spirit of the club.”
Stade Rennais, under Philippe Montanier’s leadership, has only managed one victory in their last eight Ligue 1 matches, leaving them in fifteenth place in the championship standings.
