France manager Didier Deschamps has confirmed that FIFA has rejected the team’s request to wipe a yellow card handed out to Michael Olise before Thursday’s World Cup quarterfinal against Norway.
Olise was cautioned during France’s 1–0 victory over Paraguay in the round of 16 following a clash with Matías Galarza. The Atlanta United midfielder went down holding his face but replays showed Olise did little more than pull his shirt.
