Milan took the decision following Giroud's goalkeeping heroics during their Serie A clash against Genoa on Saturday.

According to Sportbible, the former Arsenal and Chelsea striker was drafted in as an emergency goalkeeper during the tie after Mike Maignan was shown a straight red card for a challenge on Caleb Ekuban.

AC Milan stars disagree with Pioli

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Leao and Hernandez disagreeing with Pioli when the manager wanted to substitute teammate Ruben Loftus-Cheek during the 2-1 win over Roma.
