Olise's yellow card upheld; Saibari ruled out for Morocco
Summary

France's appeal to overturn Michael Olise's yellow card from their last-16 match against Paraguay has failed. The forward, who has five assists in the tournament, will miss the potential semi-final against Spain or Belgium if he receives another yellow card during the quarter-final against Morocco. Morocco will face France at Boston Stadium without Ismael Saibari, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury after being forced off early in the last-16 win over Canada.
