'Robbed' - William Saliba decision slammed by Arsenal fans for France's World Cup semi-final

Arsenal defender William Saliba has been overlooked in France's World Cup semi-final versus Morocco after Didier Deschamps opted for Liverpool centre-back Ibrahima Konate to replace Dayot Upamecano.

Les Blues take on the tournament's surprise package in the semi-final tonight after defeating England on Saturday evening. Victory over Morocco will set up a mouth-watering final against Lionel Messi's Argentina this weekend and provide Deschamps' men a chance of retaining the World Cup.

After riding their luck in some instances against Gareth Southgate's men previously, France are marked as strong favourites to win the clash against Walid Regragui's side. However, they won't be any pushover after knocking out Belgium, Spain and Portugal in the most successful run ever for an African side at the World Cup.
