I thought I still had a role at Chelsea – Giroud

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud is set to leave the club in January.

The 34-year-old has not started a single Premier League game for the club.

He only came on in the 87th minute against Newcastle United in a 2-0 win.

Giroud still wants to go to Euro 2020 with France and is not happy being a bench warmer.

Giroud told Telefoot in a recent interview: “It’s worrying.

“I thought I still had a role to play at Chelsea but my playing time is getting reduced a lot.

“It’s going to have to change or a decision must be made. I am clear-headed about my situation:

“I will have to make a decision in January. I hope to make the right one, as I have always done.”
