Olivier Giroud Injury: Ruled out Saturday

Giroud is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Lorient due to a hamstring injury, according to L'Equipe.

Giroud didn't travel with the squad for Saturday's clash against the Merlus due to a hamstring injury that has caused him discomfort in recent days. This is a big blow for the Dogues as he has been the undisputed starter leading the frontline since the pre-season, and his absence will force a change in the starting XI with Matias Fernandez-Pardo likely replacing him as the striker on Saturday.
