At the 25th minute of the France - Ireland match, unfortunate news arrived for the AC Milan club and fans: Olivier Giroud, due to a problem with his battered left ankle from a collision and a specific movement, requested a substitution and left the field on his own legs, holding his shoe in hand.
In his place, Marcus Thuram, a forward from Inter, came in. Giroud's condition will clearly need to be verified ahead of the derby on Saturday, September 16.
Didier Deschamps, the coach of France, expressed himself on TF1 microphones during halftime of the match against Ireland regarding the AC Milan striker's injury, who left the match at the 25th minute due to an ankle issue:
"Giroud suffered a bruise on the ankle, he was feeling too much pain to continue, unfortunately."
