Olivier Giroud will not be part of the list of the French summons for the meetings in October.

After having already had to miss the last three outings of the Blues during the month of September, Olivier Giroud will still have to attend as a spectator the outings of the France team in the League of Nations in the coming days . Didier Deschamps will announce his list this Thursday afternoon, and the name of the neo-Milanese will not appear there. Bad news for the person concerned, and that he will have to cash on his 35th day th birthday.

Giroud stays away

The last time, Giroud was a victim of competition. This time, it is his lack of playing time that will penalize him. Since the last international break, he has not played in everything and for everything only 106 minutes . A total that can still improve this weekend, but certainly too little to hope to make his comeback in Blue. In the past, DD had no problem summoning the native of Chambéry, even when the latter was not playing. However, the situation has since changed.

Giroud reacted a few days ago to his dismissal . He said he was “surprised” by the choice of the coach, especially compared to the fact of not having been warned earlier. Grievances that many people considered legitimate, including two former French internationals. Bixente Lizarazu, at the microphone of Téléfoot , and Mathieu Valbuena, on RMC Sport, gave him their support and criticized Deschamps for the lack of consideration he had towards the one who was his captain for a long time.
