On 11 November 2018, Isidor made his professional debut with Monaco in a 4–0 Ligue 1 loss to Paris Saint-Germain.[4] He subsequently had loan spells in Championnat National with Laval in the 2019–20 season and Bastia-Borgo in the 2020–21 season.[5][6] In his time at Bastia-Borgo he was named Championnat National revelation of the season.[7]
Lokomotiv Moscow
On 22 January 2022, he signed a 4.5-year contract with Russian club Lokomotiv Moscow.[8] He scored at least once in each of his first 6 games in the Russian Premier League, repeating the record for most consecutive games with a goal at the start of the league career that was set a week prior to Isidor's sixth game by Yusuf Yazıcı.[9] He was selected player of the month for April 2022 by the Russian Premier League.[10]
On 30 January 2023, Lyon announced that Isidor failed their medical test due to persistent knee pain, which cancelled his loan move to the club.[11]
Upon recovering from injury, Isidor finished the 2022–23 Russian Premier League season with 6 goals in the last 7 games, all after coming in as a second-half substitute.
