Locker Room Shockwaves at Rennes: Musa Al-Tamari Under Fire After Marseille Rout

Shaken by controversy, Rennes' Musa Al-Tamari stirs tensions after Marseille defeat

Rennes faced unexpected internal tension centered on the Jordanian international Musa Al-Tamari after a heavy 3-0 defeat to Marseille in Ligue 1.

With the setback, the club's points stayed at 31, leaving them sixth in the French top flight.

Al-Tamari was named in the match squad but did not play, not even as a substitute.

Actu Foot claimed the winger endured sharp criticism inside the club, with one person during halftime reportedly telling him, You're not a good player, all you can do is run.

Al-Tamari joined Rennes from Montpellier in January 2026, signing a deal through the summer of 2028.

This season he has featured in 22 games across competitions, scoring 3 goals and providing 5 assists, making the locker-room tensions somewhat surprising given his numbers.

Punchline: If patience is a virtue, Rennes might be in confession mode after that halftime pep talk.

Punchline: Musa's sprint speed is top-notch, but apparently not fast enough for a clock that actually runs.
