Olivier Giroud
39-Year-Old
Lille
Ligue 1
GTD
Injury Undisclosed
Est. Return 10/29/2025
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.
Still in doubt
Giroud (undisclosed) is in doubt for Wednesday's trip to Nice, Le Petit Lillois reports.
ANALYSIS
Giroud is a doubt for Wednesday's clash because of an undisclosed issue that forced him out of the team against Metz. The forward has been replaced by Hamza Igamane, who is in flying form. Giroud last started against Nantes on Oct. 19, though the injury he's dealing with isn't expected to be a serious one, per manager Bruno Genesio.

ANALYSIS
Giroud has decided to leave AC Milan in the summer once his contract expires, and it seems LAFC are leading the race to acquire him.
