The Team News reported that Giroud will miss this round of Ligue 1.
Lille striker Giroud, who scored goals against Brest and Monaco in the first two rounds of Ligue 1, will not be able to score three consecutive games. The French player, who will turn 39 at the end of September, did not go away with Lille due to physical problems. The team will play away against Lorient this round. According to the "Team News", Giroud should have had a slight muscle injury and there is no big problem.
Lille coaching staff was reluctant to take any risks, so he was allowed to miss the game. During Giroud's absence, Pardo is expected to serve as a striker.
