England defender Jarell Quansah has been handed a two-match ban following the red card he received during the 3-2 victory over Mexico in the North American World Cup Round of 16. This suspension means he will not only miss the quarter-final clash against Norway but also a potential semi-final.
FIFA announced Quansah's punishment today, a decision that will create further headaches for manager Thomas Tuchel. The right-back position has been England's most problematic area. The coach made some controversial squad selections, turning this role into a significant concern. Now, Tuchel's hopes rest on Reece James recovering in time to be available for the Norway match.
FIFA's decision is expected to be met with strong disapproval in England, especially given the overturned sanction for American forward Folarin Balogun.
