France 'Blame England' For Dayot And Rabiot Absence From Morocco Game

France staff reportedly blame England players after duo Adrien Rabiot and Dayot Upamecano were forced to miss their World Cup clash with Morocco, according to reports.

The pair will be cheering on their teammates at the Al Bayt Stadium. Les Bleus are hoping to make it to the final for the second time in a row, having gone all the way in Russia four years ago.

Members of Les Bleus’ team reportedly (according to the Mirror) believe they contracted it from England players during the quarter-final.

Another theory regarding their illness is because of the air conditioning in the stadiums of the World Cup.

Rabiot and Upamecano have been crucial for Didier Deschamps’ side throughout the tournament. Ibrahima Konate and Youssouf Fofana have started as replacements for the duo against the Atlas Lions.

Upamecano is on the bench for the semi-final clash. Rabiot, meanwhile, hasn’t even traveled to the Al Bayt Stadium as he looks to recover in a timely manner to be ready to face Argentina if Deschamps’ side reaches the final.

France are currently leading by 2 goals as of the time of filing this report against Walid Regragui’s side. Theo Hernandez scored the opening goal in the fifth minute with a spectacular finish and Kolo Muani scores 44 seconds after he came on as a substitute.

It’s the end as France beat Morocco by 2- 0 to advance to the final of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
