Milan anxiously await news as Giroud limps off in first half of France-Ireland

The AC Milan staff and fans are anxiously awaiting updates regarding Olivier Giroud’s condition as he was forced off early in France’s game against Ireland.

Giroud was replaced in the first half of the 2024 European Championship qualifier between France and Ireland, in the 23rd minute to be precise, having already been in the wars before that too.

The Rossoneri striker took a tumble after just a few minutes of the game following tackle which required the intervention of the technical staff.

The alarm seemed to have been resolved but after another 20 minutes of play, the No.9 went down while trying to latch onto a ball inside the box and looked in real discomfort.

This time he had to raise the white flag and he was replaced by Marcus Thuram of Inter. As Giroud slowly limped off the field he did look in pain, while the doctors were paying attention to his foot more than his ankle.
