207[PHOTO: COURTESY]Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has been ruled out of Saturday’s Premier League derby against Tottenham Hotspur due to a thigh injury, manager Arsene Wenger said on Thursday. Giroud, who has scored once in 10 league appearances this season, netted in France’s friendly win over Wales last Friday. “Giroud picked up an injury, I don’t think he will be available,” Wenger told reporters. “I think Tottenham is a good side but we have the quality to win this game and that is what we want to show,” Wenger added. “You need to have full commitment, but as well be lucid enough and calm enough to focus on the game.”
