Jules Kounde and Ibrahima Konate summoned for drug tests after World Cup semi-final

France stars Ibrahima Konate and Jules Kounde missed out celebrating their World Cup semi-final triumph over Morocco - as they were summoned for drug tests after the match.

Didier Deschamps' side ran out 2-0 winners over plucky underdogs Morocco to book a showdown with Argentina in Sunday's final at Lusail Stadium courtesy of goals from Theo Hernandez and second-half substitute Randal Kolo Muani.

The result means the reigning world champions are just one win away from defending their coveted crown and lifting a third World Cup. But while the majority of Les Blues' stars were able to celebrate into the night, it was a very different story for Konate and Kounde.
