England’s Quansah banned for two matches after World Cup last-16 red card

England defender Jarell Quansah has received a two-match suspension following a red card in the World Cup last-16 victory against Mexico. The ban, confirmed on Thursday, means Quansah will miss England's quarterfinal match against Norway on Saturday in Miami and a potential semifinal. He was sent off after a video review determined he made a sliding studs-up tackle. This suspension is a setback for manager Thomas Tuchel, as England is already dealing with defensive issues due to injuries, including midfielder Jordan Henderson being ruled out for the remainder of the tournament. Quansah will only be eligible for selection again if England reaches the World Cup final.

England defender Jarell Quansah has received a two-match suspension from FIFA for serious foul play during the World Cup round of 16 match against Mexico. Quansah was sent off for a dangerous foul on Jesus Gallardo in England's 3-2 victory. This suspension means he will miss England's quarterfinal match against Norway and potentially the semifinals if they advance. The article also notes that Quansah's absence exacerbates England's issues at right back due to injuries to Reece James and Tino Livramento. FIFA's disciplinary actions are currently under scrutiny following a separate case involving US striker Folarin Balogun.
