JAKARTA - Bad news came from the French national team ahead of facing Argentina in the 2022 World Cup final. One of their mainstay players, Olivier Giroud, is doubtful.
Quoted from Sportbible on Sunday. December 18, Giroud has doubts about appearing due to a slight knee problem. This was discovered when the player was undergoing training sessions.
This news is clearly a concern for Les Bleus ahead of the final match. Because Giroud is an important player who can become the spearhead who is hungry for goals.
Throughout his contribution to the World Cup in Qatar, Giroud has recorded four goals. Giroud became the goal engine for France with Kylian Mbappe who has recorded five goals.
If the knee problem experienced by Giroud causes himself to miss the final match against Argentina, Didier Deschamps must look for an alternative figure who can fill the position of center forward.
The coach has pocketed the names Marcus Thuram and Randal Kolo Muani as players who may be able to be put forward as alternatives. Moreover, both of them have appeared as substitutes for the 2022 World Cup.
At the age of Giroud, who is currently 36 years old, his goals at the club level are not special compared to other attackers. But in addition, Giroud has a flashy record with Les Bleus.
He is France's all-time record holder. Now Giroud has collected 53 goals as well as surpassed Thierry Henry's record, who previously held the record before the 2022 World Cup began.
