For the upcoming match against Sunderland this Saturday, Olivier Giroud is expected to be included in Arsène Wenger’s squad, providing a welcome opportunity for the French striker to shift focus away from the recent controversy stemming from his personal life.
Arsène Wenger addressed the situation after Arsenal’s match against Crystal Palace on Wednesday, emphasizing that Giroud’s absence from the lineup wasn’t a punishment but rather a tactical decision. Wenger’s comments suggest that Giroud is likely to feature prominently in the upcoming fixture against Sunderland, with the manager expressing confidence in Giroud’s resilience and ability to overcome challenges.
Despite the off-field distractions, Wenger has refrained from publicly criticizing Giroud, opting instead to support him through the ordeal. Wenger reiterated his confidence in Giroud’s mental strength, emphasizing the importance of using work as a means to overcome personal difficulties.
With Wenger expressing no doubts about Giroud’s readiness for the match, it’s clear that the French striker will have the opportunity to silence his critics and demonstrate his commitment on the field once again.
