About Riyad Idrissi
Riyad Idrissi is a developing left-back who has yet to make his mark in Serie B, evidenced by his ranking in the bottom 20% of his positional peers. While he may not shine in standout metrics, his durability is a plus, with only 10 games missed in three seasons, showing reliability in his availability. However, his lack of impact in duels and long balls suggests he needs to elevate his defensive presence and distribution to become a more effective contributor on the pitch.
Availability: 10 games missed in the last 3 seasons.
