At only 21 years old, Robin Risser will discover the French team and live his American dream. Indeed, the RC Lens goalkeeper has had an impressive season and is therefore on Didier Deschamps’ list for the 2026 World Cup. Designated as third goalkeeper behind Mike Maignan and Brice Samba, the Northerner will perhaps have a card to play. Furthermore, the French coach had already thought about the winner of the UNFP trophy for best goalkeeper in Ligue 1, well before his list.
From the fall of 2025, some close friends were convinced that he would quickly join the Blues, while the French staff carefully followed his development in the north of France and seemed ready to keep him warm this summer. Less experienced than Lucas Chevalier, hampered by his lack of playing time and physical problems at PSG, he had caught the eye of the staff, who inquired about his personality from Lens. Before June 11 (start of the competition), Risser can already be satisfied with one thing: Deschamps has all his confidence in him.
