Ibrahima Konate could start France’s World Cup semi-final against Morocco on Wednesday after illness swept through Didier Deschamps’ side in Qatar.
Les Bleus’ preparation for the clash at the Al Bayt Stadium has been undermined by sickness in the camp. Deschamps has maintained consistency in his selections so far, but may now be forced to change his approach against Morocco.
Midfielder Adrien Rabiot and defender Dayot Upamecano, who both started the 2-1 win over England on Saturday, are both doubts for the match, according to L’Equipe. Juventus ’ Rabiot has caught a cold on the eve of the game, while Bayern Munich’s Upamecano has a sore throat.
