Teenage sensation Lesley Ugochukwu, a nephew of former Nigeria U23 star Onyekachi Apam, will most likely start for Rennes tonight against Ligue 1 champions PSG.
The 17-year-old Ugochukwu will benefit from the absence of regulars Steven Nzonzi and Eduardo Camavinga.
Last month, he became on the fourth youngest player to debut for Rennes in a 5-1 win over Dijon.
Born in France, he is a “Desailly” type player, who at 1.90 metres tall can play as a defensive midfielder, in the heart of the defence or as a box-to-box midfielder.
His younger brother, Chibuike, features for the Rennes U13s.
His progress was until recently held back by an ankle injury.
