Exited due to injury in the 26th minute of play during the home victory against Ireland (2-0), French team striker Olivier Giroud was replaced by Marcus Thuram, who took the opportunity to open his counter under the blue jersey. And already at half-time of the last deadline, the AC Milan striker and his coach Didier Deschamps wanted to reassure about the state of his ankle, countered by an Irish defender following a strike.
According to the latest information from The Team, the medical examinations carried out revealed nothing serious about the condition of the foot of the top scorer in the history of the selection (54 goals). However, the latter does not wish to take any risks in order to be operational for the next Rossonero events upon return from the international break, and among them their entry into the Champions League against Newcastle at San Siro, and a derby of the Madonnina against Inter in a week.
