Midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni and centre back Dayot Upamecano both missed training this morning as France prepare for their FIFA World Cup semi-final against Morocco on Thursday.

The French federation did not give any explanation for their absence, but sports daily L'Equipe reported that Upamecano had a sore throat and Tchouameni was suffering from a knock.

Argentina will take on Croatia in the first semi final at 7am tomorrow, while underdogs Morocco will face France on Thursday at 7am.
