Chelsea striker Giroud wary Rebic returning for Eintracht Frankfurt

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud is wary of the quality of Ante Rebic.

Rebic was missing for Eintracht Frankfurt in this week's 1-1 draw for the first-leg of their Europa League semifinal.

And Giroud is not going as far as saying Chelsea are now favourites to progress from our tie and make the final.

"We need to finish the job, we must respect these opponents," he said. "Frankfurt are a good team and they will have Ante Rebic back.' The Croatian international striker served a suspension last night.

"He is a good player, I played against him in the World Cup. But we have a good chance to go through."
