LAFC head coach Steven Cherundolo announced that Olivier Giroud will make his debut for the team in the upcoming Leagues Cup match against the San Jose Earthquakes at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on Tuesday night. Giroud, who joined LAFC on a free transfer in April, officially became part of the team on August 1 after his participation in the European Championship with France.
Cherundolo confirmed Giroud's availability for the match during a pre-game news conference. The French forward is expected to bring his experience and leadership to the team after a successful season with AC Milan, where he scored 15 goals and provided eight assists in 35 regular-season matches.
