Blues Add Rennes Friendly To Pre-Season Schedule

Everton will play a pre-season friendly against Stade Rennais in northern France on Saturday, July 28.

Marco Silva’s team will continue their preparations for the 2018/19 campaign with a match against the Ligue 1 club at Stade Municipal de Vitré, home of AS Vitré, with kick-off at 6.30pm local time (5.30pm BST).

It will be the Blues’ sixth pre-season friendly of the summer after games against ATV Irdning, Bury, Lille, Porto and Blackburn Rovers, with Valencia also set to visit Goodison Park on Saturday, August 4.

Stade Rennais – commonly referred to as Rennes – finished fifth in Ligue 1 last season and boast the likes of former West Ham striker Diafra Sakho in their squad.
