After seeing seven Liverpool players head to the World Cup in Qatar, only Ibou Konate remains in the competition and he could be ready to start in a big game for his nation.
As reported by the French media L’Équipe: “Dayot Upamecano and Adrien Rabiot, both were absent from training at Les Bleus after coming down with a cold.”
This illness of Dayot Upamecano may well mean that our number 5 could have a chance to start the match against Morocco and make his third appearance in the competition.

With an embarrassment of riches at his disposal, Didier Deschamps would be foolish not to give the 23-year-old the start against the African nation, especially if the Bayern Munich defender isn’t fully fit.
Many of our fans have been left wondering why Raphael Varane and others have been preferred to our centre-back so far, but let’s hope he can work his way up the team and hold on to a place in a successful final.
There has always been a balance between wanting our players to do well in the tournament and also wanting them to return home as soon as possible, but now we are at the final four stage; we can also see the former RB Leipzig man continue. and he wins everything.
Cross our fingers that everything works out in their favor and that we see our latest World Cup star blossom in the last two games.
