Patrick Carlgren is set to rejoin FC Nantes, as confirmed by club official Grégory Poirier on Thursday, September 10. The move comes ahead of Nantes’ match against Sochaux, scheduled for Saturday, September 12, at 14:00. Carlgren, a 34-year-old Swedish goalkeeper, previously played for the club but was released at the end of last season. He is now returning to help address a knee injury suffered by first-choice goalkeeper Alexis Mirbach. Carlgren was once a backup goalkeeper for Nantes, meaning he was not the primary choice for matches but was available for games when needed. His return is expected to provide immediate support to the team as they deal with Mirbach’s injury. The Swede and the club have already reached an agreement on the terms of his return. The only remaining steps before Carlgren can officially return to the team are a few administrative procedures, which are typically routine and involve paperwork and formalities. These procedures are expected to be completed quickly, allowing Carlgren to be available for the upcoming matches. Nantes’ management has emphasized the importance of having a reliable goalkeeper in the lineup, especially with Mirbach’s injury. Carlgren’s experience and familiarity with the club are seen as valuable assets during this period of transition. His return is a strategic move to ensure the team remains competitive in the league.
