Upamecano Rabiot, worry ahead of semi

France defender Dayot Upamecano and midfielder Adrien Rabiot are both doubtful for Wednesday's World Cup semifinal against Morocco after missing collective training on Tuesday.

Centre back Upamecano and Rabiot, who suffer from a cold, are on light training indoors, the French federation (FFF) said. Upamecano had already missed Monday's training session.

Should they be ruled out, Ibrahima Konate would start at centre back while Youssouf Fofana would be expected to be alongside Antoine Griezmann and Aurelien Tchouameni in midfield.

However, Tchouameni's fitness is also a concern. He sat out training on Tuesday after complaining about pain in his calf..

it was a rather relaxed training session for the French, careful not to overexert themmselves this late on in the tournament.

Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, Raphaël Varane and Theo Hernandez all warmed up in sneakers, making little effort to touch the ball.
