Despite his recent setbacks with the law, Mbaye Niang still has the confidence of his coach. The Franco-Senegalese striker, who is on loan from AC Milan, has been called up by the French technician for the upcoming match in Ligue 1. Niang will be part of the Montpellier squad facing Stade Rennes, alongside players like Siaka Tiéné, Souleymane Camara, and Abdelhamid El Kaoutari.
Montpellier, champions two seasons ago, has struggled to replicate their past success and currently finds themselves struggling in the league standings. A victory against Stade Rennes would be a much-needed boost for the team.
The Montpellier squad for the match includes: Pionnier, Jourdren – Congré, Hilton, Tiéné, El Kaoutari, Deplagne, Assoumin – Marveaux, Martin, Cabella, Sanson, Stambouli, Mounier – M.Niang, Camara, Deza, Montano.
