AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud has hailed the form of Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot.

The pair are preparing with France to face England today in the World Cup quarterfinal.

"We like him a lot," said Giroud.

“He's being himself, all smiles. He's important on the pitch. I see he feels accomplished.

“For us, it's great to have him available and in-form, especially considering the absences we have in midfield".
