Olise yellow card stands as Saibari out for Morocco

Michael Olise leads the World Cup for assists with five

France have failed in their bid to have Michael Olise's yellow card from their win against Paraguay overturned.

The Bayern Munich winger was booked after clashing with Matias Galarza in stoppage time during

France's 1-0 victory

in a fiery last-16 match in Philadelphia.

Galarza fell to the ground after Olise grabbed his shirt during the altercation.

Olise, who has five assists at the 2026 World Cup, would miss his country's semi-final against Spain or Belgium if France manage to beat Morocco in their quarter-final on Thursday (21:00 BST) and he receives another yellow card.

"The yellow card has not changed. We were notified by Fifa this morning, it has been maintained," said France manager Didier Deschamps on Wednesday prior to the game at Boston Stadium.

Olise's bookings stands, despite

Fifa suspending a red card for United States striker Folarin Balogun

at the tournament which meant he was available for a last-16 tie against Belgium.

Bradley Barcola and Manu Kone were also booked for France against Paraguay, who did not receive any yellow cards from referee Ilgiz Tantashev during the match.

Paraguay's Gustavo Velazquez attempted to scuff the penalty spot before Kylian Mbappe put away the spot-kick for the winner, while France defender Dayot Upamecano received an elbow in the ribs from Gabriel Avalos and Andres Cubas went through Les Bleus midfielder Adrien Rabiot with a poor tackle.

Thomas Hitzlsperger said

it was "probably the worse referee performance I've seen at this tournament".

In the aftermath of the match,

Mbappe condemned

a Paraguayan senator as "despicable" and unworthy of her position after she made a number of racist remarks mocking his origin and education.

'Disgusting' Paraguay went 'way too far' against France

Morocco will be without key player Ismael Saibari as they try to avenge their defeat by France in the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup.

Saibari scored in each of his side's group games, with goals in a 1-1 draw with Brazil, 1-0 win against Scotland and 4-2 victory against Haiti.

The 25-year-old, who has moved from PSV Eindhoven to Bayern Munich this summer, also converted the winning penalty against the Netherlands in their last-32 tie.

However, Saibari was forced to come off after 22 minutes with a hamstring issue during

Morocco's 3-0 win against co-hosts Canada

in the last 16.

"He's not ready but I hope it's not the end of the tournament for him," said Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi.
