2025 Fantasy Outlook
Giroud had a challenging first season in MLS, struggling to find his rhythm after arriving late in 2024. The veteran striker still showed glimpses of his quality, but consistency eluded him without a full preseason to adapt. In 2025, with the benefit of complete preparation, Giroud is expected to play a more decisive role for LAFC, contributing both goals and assists. His experience and ability to link up play will be key, especially in support of Denis Bouanga, as he looks to make a significant impact in his second year.
Ruled out Saturday
Giroud is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Lorient due to a hamstring injury, according to L'Equipe.
ANALYSIS
Giroud didn't travel with the squad for Saturday's clash against the Merlus due to a hamstring injury that has caused him discomfort in recent days. This is a big blow for the Dogues as he has been the undisputed starter leading the frontline since the pre-season, and his absence will force a change in the starting XI with Matias Fernandez-Pardo likely replacing him as the striker on Saturday.
