As has been suggested by a report from Calciomercato.com, Olivier Giroud was a player who looked like he was in need of a rest against Chelsea at San Siro on Sunday night.
He has made 13 appearances already this season between Serie A and the Champions League and the header that he missed in the first half against Chelsea can only be explained by fatigue.
For that reason, it could be beneficially to let him be on the bench against Hellas Verona on Sunday. That could open the door for Origi to start the game at the Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi.
The Belgian looked full of energy when he came on in the 2-0 defeat against Chelsea. He could also be joined by Rebic who did not start against Chelsea.
