ARSENE WENGER has revealed Olivier Giroud is a doubt for Arsenal’s clash with Burnley on Sunday with a toe injury.
Olivier Giroud is a doubt for Arsenal's trip to Burnley
The striker, who will miss Arsenal’s clash with Basel tomorrow night through suspension, picked up the problem two weeks ago against Paris Saint-Germain.
Giroud missed the win at Hull but returned to the squad for the Gunners’ 3-0 win over Chelsea last Saturday.
The Frenchman came off the bench for the last 10 minutes at the Emirates but has since suffered a recurrence of his toe problem.
Wenger said: “It is uncertain for Sunday, we'll see."
The Arsenal boss added Giroud may not be fit for France’s World Cup Qualifying clashes with Bulgaria and the Netherlands next month.
"I do not know [if he can join the French squad]," Wenger added
“It will depend on the evolution of his injury.”
