Fails to score versus Roma Giroud recorded four shots (one on target) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Roma.

Impact Giroud made a solid impact in Sunday's match, but did not have a goal contribution to show for it. The 36-year-old has eight goal contributions (five goals and three assists) in 15 league appearances, along with six goal contributions in six Champions League games. This is Giroud's second straight game without a goal or an assist, and he has not had three straight games without a contribution this season. Given that, he may be a good bet for a goal or an assist next Saturday at mid-table Leece.

Subs off in first half Giroud was replaced by Randal Kolo Muani in the 41st minute of Sunday's World Cup final against Argentina.

Impact Giroud and Ousmane Dembele were yanked off before halftime with their team already down two goals. As Giroud did have a knock before the game, he may be not up to the task but this has more to do with poor form than poor fitness. He still ends the tournament with the men's scoring record for the French national team.

Doubt for World Cup final Giroud (undisclosed) was absent from Saturday's training session, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Giroud missed the final training session before the World Cup final, being replaced by Marcus Thuram during drills. This would be a major blow to the French team who have relied so heavily on Giroud's presence to lead the attack. Thuram is a competent attacker and would have upside in an outrageously talented side, but he doesn't have the track record Giroud offers.

Impact Giroud continues to extend his men's scoring record for Les Bleus, pushing a header past Harry Maguire, who couldn't push his way in front of the Frenchman's effort.

He's now scored four goals in four games at the winter World Cup.
