"It's a huge honour to have extended my contract with the club and to be continuing this great adventure. I'm delighted. I'd like to thank everyone who has helped me feel good at Rennes, the staff, the directors and my team-mates. I'd also like to thank the fans, who are always there."

"I was doing really well at the start of the season. This injury stopped me in my tracks and it's up to me to be strong mentally to overcome it. I'm at the top of my game mentally, I'm well supported and I'm still smiling. I've started racing again and that's a joy, but you have to accept that you have to go step by step and listen to the Doc'."

"I had to work twice as hard in training. I'm happy with the level I was able to reach before my injury and the aim is to get back there quickly."

"I'm available to the club, so I play where I'm asked to play, without preference. The important thing is to bring my qualities to the group, to be present. Whether it's on the right, the left or in the middle."

"When you're on the pitch, you don't necessarily see everything that's going on off it. Being on the sidelines makes me realise that."

"When I was little, I really liked Sergio Ramos. He’s a player who goes into duels, fights, and is always there."
