Ibrahima Konate has warned there 'won't be any favours' during France's round-of-16 tie with Poland this weekend after they were beaten 1-0 by Tunisia on Wednesday.
Didier Deschamps' side ended their first round of World Cup games top of Group D but saw their hopes of an unbeaten group stage ended at the Education City Stadium, Wahbi Khazri's goal the eventual winner after Antoine Griezmann's late equaliser was chalked off for offside. France boss Deschamps made several changes with progression already secured, notably the omission of Kylian Mbappe.
Liverpool defender Konate started his second gamer of the group stage for the current world champions, impressing once again with a record-breaking display in the heart of the defence. But the 24-year-old cut a frustrated figure after the defeat, insisting there will be no such slip-ups come Sunday, when they face Poland, who finished second behind Argentina but above Mexico after a dramatic finish to Group C.
