AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud was recalled to the France squad Saturday for friendlies in opposition to Ivory Coast and South Africa later this month as a alternative for the injured Karim Benzema.
Giroud, 35, final performed for France within the round-of-16 loss to Switzerland on penalties at Euro 2020.
The previous Arsenal and Chelsea ahead is France’s second all-time main scorer with 46 targets in 110 caps. He’s 5 targets shy of the file held by Thierry Henry.
Giroud has scored 11 occasions in 28 appearances since becoming a member of Milan final July. He has eight targets for the Serie A leaders, together with winners in opposition to title rivals Inter and Napoli.
Actual Madrid star Benzema has been dominated out of the video games in Marseille and Lille on March 25 and 29 due to a calf damage.
