  "account": "Ghana international Alidu Seidu has returned to training with Rennes following his inclusion in the club's Europa League squad. The 26-year-old defender had been anticipating a summer transfer but stayed with Rennes after a deal fell through. Seidu will be registered for Rennes' Europa League campaign, ahead of their opening match against Sturm Graz on Wednesday. The French club will face the Austrian side at 21:00, aiming to progress beyond the winter stage of the competition. Rennes has had a solid start to the Ligue 1 season, currently sharing the top spot with four matches played. Seidu, however, has not featured in Ligue 1 this season. His return to training also arrives at a crucial juncture for Ghana, as they prepare to take on Côte d'Ivoire on September 24, followed by a match against The Gambia on September 27.",
  "summary": "Seidu was expected to leave Rennes during the summer transfer window but remained at the French club after a move failed to materialise.",
