Breel Embolo News: Assists in win over Lille

Written by RotoWire Staff

Embolo assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Lille.

Embolo set up Quentin Merlin by completing a short pass in the 56th minute during his fifth consecutive league start. The forward's two assists have made up for his lack of goals in the last four Ligue 1 contests, although he's still missing some chances up front, and his four goals are well behind Esteban Lepaul's nine on Rennes' top scorers table. In any case, Embolo could be a decent threat in his current role as part of a two-man offense.
