Olivier Giroud was the best on the field against Roma with a goal and an incredible assist with his heel for Theo Hernandez's goal. The Frenchman continues to be Milan's starting center forward despite the growth shown by Luka Jovic in recent weeks. On Saturday night in Udine, however, the Milan number 9 is not certain to start, and his call-up is also at risk.
In fact, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Giroud has not trained in the last two days due to a fever, which is not related to Covid. Therefore, the French striker aims to return to Milanello today for the penultimate training session before departing for the match against Udinese away from home.
If he is well, he is the favorite for a starting spot alongside Pulisic and Leao in Milan's offensive trident; otherwise, Jovic will be ready to take his place from the first minute.
