Olivier Giroud will be asked to work overtime over the next couple of games as the only healthy centre-forward that Stefano Pioli can call upon.
Tuttosport (via MilanNews) reports this morning that Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s return is expected after the World Cup, Ante Rebic is struggling with a slipped disc and Divock Origi has returned to Belgium to solve discomfort in his tendon.
Giroud will therefore start against Dinamo Zagreb and against Napoli in the two huge upcoming games this week. Fortunately, the Frenchman is currently having an excellent moment both physically and mentally, as shown by his performance and decisive penalty in the 2-1 win over Sampdoria on Saturday.
One game at a time is the key for Giroud, who will look to score his first Champions League goal for Milan against Dinamo Zagreb tomorrow night after looking a bit lost against Red Bull Salzburg in last week’s first group stage game.
Poor duck. I hope scores but leaves the ducks alone.
😂😂😂
Im sure they are, but i hope they are managing his training appropriately, and giving him a bit more rest / less gym work in-between games.
Have no fear Olivier Giroud is here ,he will deliver ..
Technically he is the best so strong physically,and inside the 18 yard area second to none ..I mean that .
We also have rafael leao ,and a great team ..Also a brilliant manager in Pioli ..He knows how to get the best out of his players ..Yes we have injuries,but we are not the only team…So please put your trust in Olivier Giroud,pioli and the rest of the team .
It’s AC Milan for me .We can win the game .
