Two starts in three games Rekik has started in two-out-of-three games to open the 2021/22 season.
Impact Rekik only started six times in 11 league appearances last season but is already taking on a bigger roll in the present campaign.

Up next is a visit from Barcelona, which will be a tough test even without Antoine Griezmann after his loan to Atletico Madrid.
