Olivier Giroud: No Plans for a Comeback to the French National Team

Olivier Giroud has confirmed that he does not plan to return to the national team.

Details: The well-known striker mentioned that he has “turned the page” on his international career and sees no reason to rejoin the squad.

“I have no desire to return. It would take a significant crisis for me to come back. Right now, there are five strikers, and the coach has not called me. He understands that I’ve moved on,” Giroud said.

However, the forward also stated that he would be willing to help if the team needs him:

“If help is needed during a match, I wouldn’t refuse, even though I announced my retirement. If I can assist, I will do it.”

Reminder: Mbappé experienced some discomfort again and had to request a substitution during the match against Azerbaijan.
