France Coach Deschamps Says Olise's Yellow Card Appeal Fails Before World Cup Matchup with Morocco
FIFA ruled the booking stands, leaving Michael Olise one caution away from a suspension against Morocco, Deschamps said.
- On Wednesday, FIFA dismissed an appeal from the French Football Federation to rescind Michael Olise's yellow card, head coach Didier Deschamps confirmed at a news conference.
- The disputed booking stemmed from an altercation with Paraguay midfielder Matías Galarza in the round of 16, though replays appeared to show Olise only holding Galarza's shirt.
- Olise now risks suspension from the semifinal if he receives another yellow card during Thursday's quarterfinal against Morocco in Boston, a repeat of the semifinal from Qatar four years ago.
- Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni could return from a groin injury after training Wednesday, with striker Kylian Mbappe confirmed fit despite a racism row with Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla.
- Mbappe branded Amarilla a 'despicable woman' following Paraguay's defeat, though Deschamps stated the striker 'is a very strong guy mentally and physically' and 'focused on tomorrow's game.
