Stade Rennais FC prepares to face Olympique Lyonnais on the fourth day of Ligue 1, a match that will take place on Sunday 14 September 2025 at 8:45 p.m. at Roazhon Park. Coach Habib Beye has selected a group of twenty-one players for this important game. This selection includes the first appearance of Breel Embolo, who arrived from AS Monaco at the end of summer mercato. The team also includes key players such as Gauthier Gallon, Brice Samba, Valentin Rongier and Seko Fofana, as well as young Breel Embolo.

The National Union of Professional Footballers (UNFP) recently unveiled the three players rewarded for the month of August. Tyler Morton, midfielder of Olympique Lyonnais, was praised for his regularity and positive impact on the team during his three victories. The other two winners are Ilaan Kebbale of Paris FC, who scored a double and a spectacular goal, and João Neves of Toulouse FC, who scored a triple and became the best scorer in the championship.

Georges Mikautadze, a Georgian attacker, recently gave an interview to the Football Club Canal. He revealed that his transfer to Villarreal, which brought back more than 30 million euros to Olympique Lyonnais, helped save the club. Mikautadze explained that the sale was inevitable and that he saw this opportunity as a sacrifice for the team he loves. This situation prompted the positive reaction of the former players of Olympique Lyonnais, who are delighted with the team’s good start to the season.
