Chelsea: Olivier Giroud scores a screamer in training
Giroud joined Chelsea from Arsenal in January after losing his place in the team to Alexandre Lacazette.
And his performances for Chelsea, while Morata struggled for form and confidence, earned him a place in France’s World Cup squad.
After success in Russia, Giroud returned late to his club and has been in and out of the team as manager Maurizio Sarri tinkers with his attacking options.
Giroud has scored just once this season while Morata has six so far and shown better form in recent weeks.

“In the national team in September, with this goal against the Netherlands, that did me good.
“After that, when I came back to Chelsea, I played several matches as a starter.
“Today, the coach has introduced healthy competition. Morata started again, he played well.
“It is true that we were having issues in the effectiveness department, he scored, and things are going better.”
