Rennes Left-back Cheik M’Bengue Faces Uncertain Layoff After Injury
Rennes left-back Cheik M’Bengue is facing an uncertain period on the sidelines after sustaining a torn muscle during his side’s 0-0 draw against Saint-Étienne on Friday. The Senegalese international was forced to leave the pitch due to the injury, and the club confirmed the severity of the problem on their official website.
The exact duration of M’Bengue’s absence remains unclear, as further medical tests will be carried out in the coming days to assess the full extent of the injury. However, there is a possibility that the 28-year-old could miss the remainder of the season, depending on the results of the tests.
M’Bengue has been a key figure in Rennes’ defence this season, and his potential absence would be a blow to the Breton club’s defensive options as they approach the final stages of the campaign. The club’s medical staff will closely monitor his recovery process to determine when he will be able to return to action.
The injury occurred in the first half of the goalless draw with Saint-Étienne, and M’Bengue was unable to continue, leaving the field with visible discomfort. With Rennes still involved in a tight race for European qualification, losing the experienced full-back could have significant ramifications for their ambitions.
Rennes fans will be hoping for positive news following the tests, but for now, M’Bengue’s recovery remains the priority.
