France's appeal to overturn Michael Olise's yellow card received during their World Cup match against Paraguay has been rejected by FIFA. The decision means Olise remains on a caution for the tournament, putting him at risk of suspension should he receive another yellow card in the upcoming semi-final against Morocco.
The booking occurred during France's victory over Paraguay, and the French Football Federation had hoped to have it rescinded to protect their squad options ahead of the crucial semi-final fixture. However, FIFA has upheld the original decision, leaving Olise just one caution away from missing the final if France progresses.
