Adrien Rabiot misses France World Cup semi-final after "justice" remark angered England

Adrien Rabiot will miss France’s World Cup semi-final clash with Morocco after coming down with an illness from the result of air conditioning.

The Juventus midfielder has been a key component of the French team which is now two games away from becoming the first nation to reclaim the trophy in 60 years. Rabiot has started all-but one game in Qatar and has played an influential role in the heart of their midfield.

But the 27-year-old will not even be at Al Bayt Stadium for the meeting with surprise package Morocco, instead remaining at the team hotel with an illness. L’Equipe report that both Rabiot and Dayot Upamecano have the flu, with the blame being placed on air conditioning at their training base.
