France striker Olivier Giroud spoke about how the team took Karim Benzema's injury on the eve of the 2022 World Cup.
- "When I hear that some of us breathed a sigh of relief when we learned about Benzema's injury, it's completely absurd! We felt sorry for Karim. I personally told him about it. We lost an important weapon. We were disappointed for Benzema and for ourselves," Olivier Giroud said.
