Forward Olivier Giroud tested positive for coronavirus on Thursday, according to his new, Italian, Serie A club AC Milan.
Giroud played his debut game for the Rossoneri wherein he scored twice in Milan’s 4-1 thrashing of Cagliari on Sunday. This was a Serie A game, but Giroud has had to halt his journey further into the top-flight’s 2021-22 season.
After a positive COVID-19 test, the 34-year-old striker has placed himself in isolation, for about two weeks.
