Olivier Giroud had a perfect start with his new club AC Milan last weekend with a brace against Cagliari at San Siro.
But the 2018 world champion will not be able to continue his momentum immediately.
The Lombard club has just communicated on its positivity for a Covid test “Olivier was positive for a test carried out at his home, announces the Milan club.
The player is doing well but was immediately quarantined.
He has had no contact with the rest of the team since the game against Cagliari ”.
Giroud should therefore not play the next Serie A match against Lazio Rome on September 12 at San Siro.
Olivier Giroud, who has been vaccinated against Covid, is therefore unlikely to develop a serious form of the disease.
From last January, the French striker was one of the first to advocate vaccination.
He had, on January 15, 2021, initialed a press release with more than a hundred other active athletes in which he wrote: “We are committed to getting vaccinated as soon as possible.
"
From a sporting point of view, the absence of Giroud on the field should not exceed one meeting.
