(Reuters) - Olivier Giroud's recent performances have given Frank Lampard food for thought but the Chelsea boss said on Friday that it was difficult to offer the Frenchman the assurance that he will continue to spearhead their attack.

Giroud, 34, has yet to start a Premier League game this season with Timo Werner and Tammy Abraham preferred over him, and France coach Didier Deschamps urged the striker to sort out his playing time ahead of the European Championship next year.
