France have suffered a setback ahead of their FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-final against Morocco after FIFA rejected their appeal to overturn Michael Olise's yellow card. France coach Didier Deschamps confirmed the decision, meaning the winger remains one booking away from suspension. The team is also sweating over the fitness of midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni, who is doubtful with an injury. France, led by Kylian Mbappé, will face an in-form Morocco side that has impressed throughout the tournament. The quarter-final is a rematch of the 2022 World Cup semi-final, with both teams aiming for a place in the last four. (PC: NDTV)
