The France international twisted his ankle against Sunderland but
expects to return for Wednesday's Champions League tie and is hopeful of
being England's top goalscorer
Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud is confident that he will be ready to take on Marseille despite twisting his ankle against Sunderland.
The France international netted after just 11 minutes at the Stadium of
Light and also assisted Aaron Ramsey's second goal in the 3-1 win but
was withdrawn late on to throw his participation in Wednesday's
Champions League tie into doubt.
"It is not bad. I twisted my ankle but, fortunately, it is nothing major," Giroud told the press.
"Marseille? Yes, I am OK, I will be fine."
The
Gunners star had already scored three times in his opening three club
games of the season before the visit to the Black Cats saw club-record
signing Mesut Ozil added to the team and feels that he is in with a
chance of winning the Premier League's Golden Boot.
"With this team I can score many goals," he enthused. "Can I finish the league's top scorer? I must have a chance."
