FOXBOROUGH, United States (AFP)—France coach Didier Deschamps revealed on Wednesday that an appeal against a yellow card shown to Michael Olise in the World Cup last-16 win over Paraguay had been rejected by FIFA.
Olise, who has been one of the tournament’s standout stars, was booked in the final minutes of the bad-tempered clash in Philadelphia after an altercation with Matias Galarza.
“The yellow card has not changed. We were notified by FIFA this morning, it has been maintained,” Deschamps told reporters in Foxborough, on the eve of France’s quarter-final showdown with Morocco at the Gillette Stadium.
