The top scorer in the history of the Blues (54) left following a shock in the 26th minute against Ireland (2-0) this Thursday at the Parc des Princes during the qualifications for Euro 2024, he would suffer from “a slight sprain of the left ankle”, indicated the FFF. “The healing time was too short for him to play Tuesday in Dortmund,” added the Federation, specifying that the player would not be replaced in the group. Giroud (37) explained after the match against the Irish that he had received “a shock on the astragalus”.
“I made a bad move, I tried to continue the match but on the changes of direction it was too difficult. I suffered a blow in the Champions League last season and I have a bit of a weakness at this level. It’s a bit of bad luck, I might have to strap the ankle to strengthen it. In recent weeks I haven’t had too much pain,” continued the almost 37-year-old striker on Thursday, who was in great shape after scoring four goals in three days of the championship with AC Milan.
