Robin Risser
LEN
Concedes three in defeat
Risser made two saves and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Club Brugge.
Analysis: Risser endured another difficult European outing as Lens suffered a heavy defeat, conceding the opener just before halftime after pushing a deflected corner into Hans Vanaken's path. The French goalkeeper was beaten again by Joaquin Seys shortly after the break before Carlos Forbs added a third following a counterattack. Risser has now recorded eight saves and seven goals conceded across three Champions League appearances this season, without keeping a clean sheet in any competition. He will look to secure his first shutout of the campaign when Lens face Paris FC in Saturday's Ligue 1 clash.
Makes four saves in win
Risser registered four saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 3-1 win against Troyes.
Analysis: Risser made four or more saves for the fourth time in nine starts. The goalkeeper has yet to keep a clean sheet over that span, though. He will now look to keep things rolling against Paris FC on Saturday, but they will first visit Club Brugge on Wednesday in UCL play.
Concedes twice against Sporting
Risser recorded three saves and allowed two goals in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Sporting CP.
Analysis: Risser made three saves, including an impressive first-half stop against Luis Suarez, but was unable to prevent Sporting from scoring twice. The goalkeeper has now conceded four goals while making six saves across two Champions League appearances this season. His difficult start to the campaign has seen him concede 14 goals without a clean sheet in eight appearances across all competitions. Risser will look to improve those numbers against Troyes in Ligue 1 on Saturday before facing Club Brugge in the Champions League on Oct. 21.
Gives up late goal
Risser made four saves and allowed one goal in Friday's 2-1 victory versus Lyon.
Analysis: Risser was solid in Friday's win, making four saves. He did give up a late goal to create some tension for Lens but it didn't matter in the end. He will be challenged in UEL action against a Sporting CP side that has scored 20 goals in eight domestic league games.
Returns in friendly
Risser (ribs) is in the starting lineup for Friday's friendly against Standard de Liege, according to the club.
Analysis: Risser had previously withdrawn from the France squad after medical staff from both France and Lens determined he was physically diminished, an issue that raised some concern about his fitness. His inclusion in the starting lineup now confirms his recovery is complete, positioning him to reclaim his spot in goal as Lens approaches the resumption of Ligue 1 play.
Withdraws from France squad
Risser (undisclosed) will not join the France squad for the upcoming international window and its four matches in 11 days, after medical staff from both France and Lens determined he is physically diminished, according to the French National Team.
Analysis: Risser had recently made five saves in the loss to Monaco, part of a stretch that has seen him record 16 saves across five appearances this season while conceding nine goals. His withdrawal from international duty now raises some concern about his fitness heading into Lens' next match against Lyon after the break, and further clarity on his condition should emerge in the coming days.
Concedes two
Risser recorded five saves and allowed two goals in Friday's 2-1 loss against Monaco.
Analysis: Risser recorded five saves and two clearances and also conceded an own goal. Risser has now recorded 16 saves in five appearances and conceded nine times. Next, he takes on Lyon.
Three saves in 2-2 draw
Risser had three saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Le Mans.
Analysis: Risser made three saves as his side drew 2-2 against Le Mans. He has started each game for Lens this season, but is still waiting on his first clean sheet of this season. The keeper kept 11 clean sheets as he helped Lens to a record breaking season which has now given them Champions League football. He has made at least three saves in three of the five games he has played in this season in all competitions.
Makes three saves in win
Risser made three saves and allowed two goals in Thursday's 3-2 victory against Slavia Prague.
Analysis: Risser made three saves as Lens escaped with all three points despite conceding twice, extending his run without a clean sheet to four matches across all competitions. While the goalkeeper has yet to shut out an opponent during that stretch, he remains firmly established as Lens' first-choice option and should continue to see regular opportunities for saves as the club balances domestic and European competition. He'll look to record his first clean sheet in five outings against Le Mans in Ligue 1.
Two saves in 1-0 defeat
Risser recorded two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Lorient.

Ready for new season
Risser is back at La Gaillette Gervais Martel and ready for the new season, the club announced.
Analysis: Risser posted 78 saves, conceded 35 goals and recorded 11 clean sheets across 33 Ligue 1 appearances last season, a standout campaign that cemented his status as one of Lens' most reliable performers. His return marks the continuation of preseason preparations as the club builds toward the new campaign. Risser is expected to remain the club's undisputed starter in goal this season.
Concedes twice
Risser recorded one save and allowed two goals in Wednesday's 2-0 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain.
Analysis: Risser made one save in Wednesday's 2-0 defeat to PSG in a match that handed the title directly to their opponents, first beaten in the first half by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's clinical one-on-one finish after Malang Sarr's misplaced pass gifted possession to Ousmane Dembele, and then again in stoppage time when Ibrahim Mbaye's powerful effort struck the crossbar and went in. Risser has made 78 saves, conceded 35 goals and kept 11 clean sheets across 33 Ligue 1 appearances this season, earning the league's Goalkeeper of the Year award. He will look to bounce back in the next match against Lyon on Sunday.
