France striker Olivier Giroud a doubt for Euro 2016 semi-final against Germany with a knee injury
OLIVIER GIROUD is a a doubt for France's Euro 2016 semi-final against Germany with a knee injury.
The Arsenal striker needed treatment on joint as his team-mates trained for the huge tie behind closed doors.
Giroud, 29, has hit form after being asked to lead the line for his country and would be a huge blow.
He scored twice in the quarter-final victory over Iceland and also netted in the group opener versus Romania.
Powerhouse Giroud is hoping to come through light training today ahead of tomorrow night's clash in Marseille.
Andre-Pierre Gignac, 30, has not added the same threat when replacing Didier Deschamps' first-choice hitman of the bench.
Giroud showed his versatility against Iceland as he raced onto a through ball to slot home and powered a Dimitri Payet free-kick in with his head for the tournaments hosts' fifth.
World champions Germany are without Mario Gomez and Mats Humells, with Sami Khedira and Bastian Schweinsteiger doubts.
The winner of the game will play either Wales or Portugal, who clash tonight in Lyon.
The Dragons have never been at this stage before, while the other three sides left in the hunt have all made the final in previous years.
