It seems that Olivier Giroud will be starting once again, this time against Hellas Verona. Some players will be rested, but the soon-to-be 37-year-old will be there from the first minute. The number 9 is the only guarantee of goals available to Stefano Pioli, a guarantee for the past two seasons. 38 appearances and 14 goals in the first, 47 appearances and 18 goals in the second: these are the numbers reported today by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Age is advancing and at the end of September, on the 30th, Giroud will be 37 years old.
On the other hand, Luka Jovic and Noah Okafor still do not provide the assurance that an important substitute should give. Their use as substitutes is probable, but from the first minute, there's no chance right now.
