Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is unconcerned over Olivier Giroud's late return from his summer break.
Giroud was notably flat for defeat to AS Monaco.
Wenger is not concerned about Giroud's fitness and put his display on Sunday down to a lack of rest.
"Today at least he was not ready at all," Wenger said after the game.
"He had only three weeks rest, it was not an eternity and he had to come back quickly. But sometimes when you come back late you want to work hard and in a game you are not as sharp. "It's nothing about him. He's not put weight on, he's not out of shape, he's worked very hard this week and not recovered from the work he has done."
