India, July 9 -- FIFA has rejected the French Football Federation's appeal to overturn Michael Olise's yellow card, head coach Didier Deschamps said on Wednesday. The ruling means the booking from France's round-of-16 win over Paraguay will stand.

"The yellow card has not changed," Deschamps said during his press conference in Boston, ahead of France's quarter-final clash against Morocco. "We were notified by FIFA this morning, it has been maintained."

If the Bayern Munich winger receives another booking in Friday's tie at Boston Stadium, he will trigger an automatic one-match ban. And if France win that match, Olise will be forced to sit out the semi-final against the winner of the Spain versus Belgium quarter-final.
