The offensive midfielder impressed in training and was included in Frederic Antonetti's men to host the former champions at the Route de la Lorient on Sunday.
He has excelled with Rennes reserves playing consistently week-in week-out.
"I'm in the first team and I thank Allah for this opportunity. I hope to make the most out of it," the former Liberty Professionals player told GHANAsoccernet.com
Issah was a member of the Ghana Under-20 team who toured Italy last November.
Ghana defender John Boye is also in the list.
