Rennes coach Julien Stephan is upset with Alexandre Lacazette being available for Arsenal in their Europa League clash tomorrow.
Stephan is unhappy that Lacazette is available for the Emirates second-leg after his three-match ban was suddenly reduced on appeal on Tuesday.
He complained: “The timing of the Lacazette decision was a surprise for us.
"We didn't think that he would be included up until Monday evening when they decided to reduce his sanction to two games.
“We weren't even aware that Arsenal had appealed Lacazette's ban because the red card was given about a month ago so it's a bit strange that it has come just 48 hours before the game.
“But it is what it is and we don't have time to waste by debating things with Uefa.
“It's the second bizarre instance after the decision to invert the two legs. Hopefully there won't be any more surprises and the referee on the night will be great.
“It changes a lot of things because with Lacazette available Arsenal can play in several different systems and now we have only 24 hours to prepare.
“Arsenal will obviously be much stronger than they were in the first leg and we know that they are used to winning big games at home.
“I don't know if we will thwart their plans but we want to score at least once here in London."
