France are without Adrien Rabiot and Dayot Upamecano for World Cup semi-final due to illness

France have been dealt with a blow for their World Cup semi-final against Morocco as Adrien Rabiot and Dayot Upamecano have missed out on a place in the starting XI due to illness. Didier Deschamps’ side have only made two changes to the starting XI from the side that beat England 2-1 on Saturday, with Rabiot and Upamecano being replaced by Youssouf Fofana and Ibrahima Konate respectively. The Bayern Munich defender has started in four out of France’s five games so far at the World Cup in Qatar. France are looking to defend their 2018 crown in Qatar, while Morocco have already created history by becoming the first African nation to reach the semi-finals of a World Cup.
