The evolution of Gabriel Gudmundsson’s role in the LOSC illustrates a significant change in his contribution to the team. Initially, the Swedish player was a key element, enjoying a consistent playing time during the first half of the 2024-2025 season. With 1749 minutes contested in 26 appearances, he positioned himself as the sixth most used player, testifying to Bruno Genesio’s confidence. This privileged period, when he accumulated 75% of the team’s total playing time, placed him in a strong position within the team, even ahead of players like Thomas Meunier and Ngal的ayel Mukau.

However, since the beginning of 2025, the situation has been reversed, as its playing time has decreased considerably. With only 817 minutes out of the 1800 possible since the reception of FC Nantes, it represents only about 45% of the team’s total playing time. This decline is mainly due to the return to competition of Ismaily, who quickly recovered play time despite injuries. The arrival of Mitchel Bakker also contributed to this redistribution of roles, with the Dutch being regularly titularized. Bruno Genesio acknowledged the complexity of managing a team where competition is so intense, highlighting the fatigue accumulated by his players, including Gudmundsson, who also experienced stops for minor injuries.

Despite this situation, marked by a significant decrease in his playing time, Gabriel Gudmundsson has not yet entered into a contract extension, his current agreement expiring in June 2026. This uncertainty about his future in the club is compounded by the complexity of his current situation, where he moves from an unquestionable role to that of a rotating player, faced with increased competition and fatigue management that weighs on his progress.
