France full-back Djibril Sidibe limps out of training ahead of quarterfinal

France full-back Djibril Sidibe limped out of training on Sunday with a possible ankle injury in a setback to the side ahead of this week's World Cup quarterfinal against Uruguay.

France had already lost full-back Benjamin Mendy for the round-of-16 clash against Argentina because of a small muscle injury. Mendy also missed training on Sunday.

If Sidibe is ruled out, coach Didier Deschamps will be left with only two options for the quarterfinal clash -- Lucas Hernandez and Benjamin Pavard -- though defender Presnel Kimpembe can also play at full-back.

Sidibe has just recovered from a knee injury which forced him to lose his place in the France lineup to Pavard.
