Rennes sweat on John Boye’s fitness

Ghana defender John Boye is a major injury doubt for Stade Rennes Ligue 1 game against Nice on Sunday.

The central defender sustained an injury in his pubis in the 2-0 win at Brest on Saturday.

The Ghana international played through the pain barrier to help the Red and Blacks halt a four-game losing streak on Saturday.

He now appears to have aggravated the injury and could now miss this weekend’s home match against Nice.

Rennes have only started climbing the Ligue 1 ladder after suffering four consecutive defeats.

They now lie 10th with just four matches remaining.
