A fracture rules Aboudramane Sanogo out for 69 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Red Star will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

4 matches without a win for Red Star
The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Red Star are no longer polite ones.

Real improvement from Elias Sagna at Red Star
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Elias Sagna is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Dylan Durivaux stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Dylan Durivaux and Red Star agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

A late step up for Dylan Durivaux
At 27 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Graduation day at Red Star
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.
Match19 Aug 2028
FC Metz take the points off Red Star
Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Jean Dupuis steps up from the Red Star academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jean Dupuis has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Red Star promote Mathieu Schneider from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Mathieu Schneider has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
