Nantes recall Patrik Carlgren after Alexis Mirbach injury

Nantes have had to act quickly in goal after Alexis Mirbach, their second-choice keeper, suffered an injury. As reported by L’Équipe, the club needed a short-term solution and decided to bring back Patrik Carlgren, a former option who fits the situation.

Injury forces a reshuffle

Per L’Équipe, Mirbach’s problem is expected to keep him out for roughly three months. With that timeline, Nantes explored multiple possibilities before Carlgren came back to the top of the list, an avenue also highlighted by Ouest-France.

A one-year return

Carlgren, described in the article as free agent, is set to re-sign for one year, according to L’Équipe. The keeper isn’t arriving from scratch: last season he was the backup behind Anthony Lopes.

From Lopes to Mirbach

The piece also explains that Nantes had rearranged the hierarchy after Lopes left for Angers when his deal ended, with Maxime Dupé brought in as the starting goalkeeper. Mirbach then moved up to second choice—but now his injury has triggered this emergency recall.
