Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand knows AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud will be Denmark's biggest challenge facing France on Saturday.

Simon Kjaer marks Giroud every day in training, though Hjulmand says he's unsure of an advantage ahead of their World Cup tie.

He said, “Olivier is a better striker now than he was in the past. I talked about it with Simon. Hopefully, knowing the opponent will reveal itself to be an advantage.

“I see Giroud as being absolutely in the elite in terms of movements, playing with his teammates and everything else.

“He is slightly less mobile and outside of the tactics than Karim Benzema, but on the field, he is certainly world class."
