Many of France’s players are on familiar ground against Morocco in the World Cup semi-final – but that is far from the case for Youssouf Fofana.
Didier Deschamps' side are aiming to reach back-to-back World Cup finals on Wednesday night and book a place in Sunday’s final against Argentina. Players like Hugo Lloris, Raphael Varane, Antoine Griezmann, Olivier Giroud and Kylian Mbappe have therefore been there and done it before.
Not so for Fofana, who has come into the starting line-up after Adrien Rabiot was ruled out through illness. The Monaco midfielder won his first France cap in September and will pick up just his seventh against Morocco.
