Status: Minor doubt

Type of injury: Ankle

Possible return date: July 14 (vs. Spain)

Mbappe sustained a knock to his ankle in the latter stages of the 2-0 win over Morocco. The France captain was subsequently withdrawn in the 77th minute and was seen with ice applied to the affected area.

However, he insisted he was "completely fine" when he spoke to reporters after the game, meaning he should be ready to start against Spain in Arlington.

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Thigh

Possible return date: July 14 (vs. Spain)

Tchouameni has missed the last two matches after sustaining a muscle issue in training on July 3. The Real Madrid midfielder remains a doubt for Tuesday's semi-final, and he may face a battle to displace Kone even if he proves his fitness in time.

Status: Minor doubt

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: July 14 (vs. Spain)

Kone was replaced in the 71st minute of Thursday's quarter-final win after struggling with a minor knee problem and fatigue. His withdrawal appeared to be a precautionary measure, so he should be available for selection. 

France suspension list

France have no players suspended for the semi-final. All yellow cards have been wiped off ahead of the last four, which is good news for Bradley Barcola, Michael Olise and Kone.
