Sochaux rebels could return against Rennes

Sochaux duo Modibo Maiga and Kevin Anin, who had refused to play after looking for transfers in August, are back training with the first team after a spell with the reserves and could feature in Wednesday's clash at home to Stade Rennes.

"It's forgotten," Maiga said.

Paris Saint-Germain have recruited retired former player Claude Makelele as an advisor on "sporting policy" the club said in a statement ahead of Wednesday's home game with Nice.

"We've made a faultless start. We are growing in power," he told reporters.

"I do not expect the fans to welcome us with flowers or to chant the names of the players or the coach," he told www.om.net. "We have to be ready for that. I don't have to tell the players that there is an obligation to win."

Evian are without Jerome Leroy, Sunday's goal-scorer in the draw against PSG, midfielder Christan Poulsen and Aldo Angoula for Wednesday's trip to Marseille.
