It is doubtful whether Giroud's flu infection can represent the team in the Champions League against Tottenham Hotspur


The Serie A giants AC Milan will play away against the Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur in the second round of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 in the 2022/23 season. However, the striker Giroud of the Rossoneri has recently contracted the flu, so whether Giroud can play in this focus game There are still unknowns in battle.


According to media reports, Giroud had flu symptoms when he played against Fiorentina in Serie A, and therefore missed the team's training camp today. Although Giroud is currently recovering and is expected to be checked again later, his teammates will also fly to England for training in the near future.


Brahim Diaz trains alone


According to media reports, AC Milan coach Pioli is more inclined to consider bringing Giroud to London, and also hopes that the striker can play some role in the focus match against Tottenham Hotspur . But if Giroud is really unable to play, Rebic, Belgian striker Origi or De Cattrall may also try to replace Giroud in the game.


On the other hand, there is uncertainty about whether another AC Milan player, Brahim Diaz, can play. Due to a sprained knee before the game against Fiorentina, Brahim Diaz did not train with the rest of the team, but trained alone.


AC Milan defeated Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at home in the first round of the UEFA Champions League round of 16, but the Rossoneri lost to Fiorentina 1-2 in the recent league. Going to the away game to challenge Tottenham Hotspur, who also hopes to return to the winning track, it may be another difficult task for Pioli's team to get tickets to the Champions League quarter-finals.
