Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has hinted striker Olivier Giroud may leave the club in January, saying a deal "could happen" if it suits all parties involved.
Giroud, 33, was an unused substitute when Chelsea beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 in the FA Cup third round on Sunday, and he's been omitted from the club's last six Premier League matchday squads.
Lampard told reporters after the game: "There's no update on Ollie, but I've spoken with him. If the conditions are that it's something he really wants to do and it works for the club, for me and the squad then it's something that could happen.
