Bafetimbi Gomis has returned to the starting lineup for Lyon's Ligue 1 match against Rennes this evening.

Gomis has not featured in any of his side's games so far this season, having been forced to train with the reserves following speculation over his future at the club during the summer transfer window.

The striker is one of five changes for Lyon from their 2-1 defeat at the hands of Evian TG in their last outing, as coach Remi Garde looks to put an end to a four-game losing streak.

Mouhamadou Dabo, Samuel Umtiti, Gueida Fofana and Clement Grenier also come into the starting XI, replacing Yoann Gourcuff, Arnold Mvuemba, Jordan Ferri and Miguel Lopes.

Rennes, meanwhile, make four changes to the side that drew 0-0 with Lille last time out, as Cheikh M'Bengue, Jean Kana-Biyik, Anders Konradsen and Jonathan Pitroipa are named in the lineup.

Lyon: Lopes; Dabo, Bisevac, Umtiti, Bedimo; Gonalons, Fofana, Grenier; Lacazette, Gomis, Fekir

Rennes: Costil; Danze, Kana-Biyik, Armand, M'Bengue, Konradsen, Pajot, Féret, Pitroipa, Kadir, Oliveira
