France appeals to FIFA to rescind Michael Olise's yellow card as star faces potential World Cup suspension

Summary
The French Football Federation (FFF) has appealed to FIFA to rescind a yellow card given to Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise during France's last-16 World Cup victory over Paraguay. The booking puts Olise at risk of suspension for the quarter-finals, which would be particularly damaging given his exceptional form — he leads the World Cup assist charts with five, the most by any player in a single tournament since 1994, and has won Man of the Match twice during the competition.

He has already been named Man of the Match twice during the competition – first for his display in France's opening 3-1 win over Senegal, where he set up Kylian Mbappe's goal, and again in the 3-0 round-of-32 victory over Sweden.
The French Football Federation (FFF) has launched an appeal to FIFA in an attempt to have Michael Olise's yellow card rescinded.
