Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud apologized on Twitter today after a British tabloid newspaper exposed details of the footballer having an extra-marital affair.
Giroud allegedly spent a night in a hotel with a lingerie model named Celia Kay before Arsenal’s 2-0 home win over Crystal Palace earlier this month.
Earlier today, Giroud posted the following messages on Twitter:
I apologise to my wife, family and friends and my manager, team-mates and Arsenal fans.
— Olivier Giroud (@_OlivierGiroud_) February 16, 2014
I now have to fight for my family and for my club and obtain their forgiveness. Nothing else matters at the moment.
— Olivier Giroud (@_OlivierGiroud_) February 16, 2014
For Arsenal’s FA Cup match against Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium today, Giroud was named to the bench while Yaya Sanogo started for the Gunners.
