Giroud admits frustration with Chelsea role

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud admits he's become frustrated with his situation at the club.

The France international has had to settle for a bench player for the majority of this season.

"Of course it's frustrating," Giroud told French radio station RTL. "Today, I have the impression there is clearly no competition [for places in attack] since January.

"It's like that, I know that I will only play in the Europa League. I try to do what it takes to be as effective and as important as I can for the team."
