Third in the hierarchy of goalkeepers last season, Robin Risser will have finally endorsed the costume of lining Matz Sels more than the Japanese Eiji Kawashima (40 years old), who had shoulder surgery on his return from the World Cup in Qatar and only sat on the bench eleven times in the league for his last year in Strasbourg.
After a first appearance in the group during the first day, then three other convocations between September 11 and October 1, Robin Risser was called up continuously from the 16th to the 38th day, but he did not have to replace Matz Sels, the Belgian international being unbeatable in the goal of Racing.
At 18 (19 on December 2), Robin Risser needs to play more than the six matches played with the Strasbourg reserve in N3 this season. Racing was therefore looking to lend its international U19 (six capes), under contract in Alsace until June 2027.
Racing is not looking for a lining in Sels
“He needs to play and he will go on loan to Dijon,” confirmed Kader Mangane, the club’s sports coordinator, on Wednesday. In Côte d’Or, Robin Risser will find Benoît Tavenot, Frédéric Antonetti’s assistant who has passed number 1.
With Eiji Kawashima no longer there, Racing does not intend to seek, at least for the moment, an experienced understudy to support Matz Sels. “We are recovering Alaa Bellaarouch, whom we loaned to Saint-Brieuc last season precisely so that he could gain experience, and we continue to work with Alexandre Pierre”, specifies Kader Mangane.
In the Côtes d’Armor, the Moroccan goalkeeper (under contract until June 2025) has held the National 14 times. Alexandre Pierre, who has just played the Concacaf with Haiti, had been loaned the previous season to Annecy, then in National, but had not played. This season, he has played 9 matches with the reserve in N3 and is entering his last year of contract.

Sissoko and Kandil spared
Not appeared on the lawn with their teammates since the resumption on Monday, “Ibrahima Sissoko and Nordine Kandil are spared”, also specified Kader Mangane, the consequences of physical glitches that they have dragged on since the end of the season, on the knee for the first , at the foot for the second. Their return is expected in the coming days.
