Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris has welcomed Olivier Giroud back to the France squad.

The AC Milan striker is again with France for the first time since last summer's Euros.

Lloris said, "The status of Olivier Giroud? He deserves his return. He is doing great things with Milan.

"He had a discussion with the coach, this discussion belongs to them. He is an intelligent boy, able to adapt to any situation.

"He is ready to do anything to be part of this adventure."
