Stade Rennais had so far been spared the coronavirus epidemic. But the situation has seriously deteriorated in recent days. At the end of last week, a player from the Breton club had already tested positive. After the detection of this case, new tests were carried out on Monday. They revealed "new suspicions of cases of Covid-19 within the professional workforce of Stade Rennais", the club said Monday evening in a press release.

“As a precaution and in application of the sanitary protocol, the technical staff will adapt their training sessions by favoring work in small groups until further notice. Given this context, the training sessions initially open to the press will take place behind closed doors, ”the press release concludes.
After a draw against Lille on Saturday evening on the first day of Ligue 1, Stade Rennais should normally host Montpellier on Saturday afternoon at Roazhon Park. But if new positive cases are confirmed within the club, the meeting could be threatened.
