How to watch France vs Morocco in World Cup: TV channel, kick-off time and team news

With Argentina defeating Croatia 3-0 on Tuesday night we now know who one of the finalists will be for the World Cup on Sunday, now all eyes will be on France vs Morocco to see who will face them.

Morocco have already made history by becoming the first team from the African confederation to reach the semi-finals of the competition, but they won't want to stop there with a chance of immortality from being the first-ever winners from the continent in their reach.

They will have to overcome an exceptional France side, however, led by the mercurial talent that is Kylian Mbappe. Les Bleus will be looking to become the first team since Brazil in 1962 to successfully defend their World Cup title.

Saiss added: "We will see, we will do some tests to see what kind of injury I have. But I will try my best to be on the pitch. I hope it will be OK."

Morocco are already without his defensive partner Nayef Aguerd who picked up an injury in their Round of 16 tie against Spain. The African side do not have any other injuries or suspensions to speak of.

France have no known injuries and have no suspensions. On Monday reports circulated about an illness in the camp, but who has been affected and whether it will be a problem is still unclear.
