England defender Jarell Quansah has received a two-match ban for serious foul play following his red card in the World Cup last-16 victory over Mexico. The suspension means Quansah will miss England's quarter-final match against Norway and a potential semi-final should they advance.

Quansah's dismissal in the 54th minute came after a VAR review for a reckless tackle on Mexico's Jesus Gallardo. FIFA's disciplinary committee upheld the red card, citing a breach of article 14 of the code of conduct. England cannot appeal the decision.

The ban creates a significant selection headache for manager Thomas Tuchel, with Reece James already sidelined by a hamstring injury and Djed Spence returning from his own fitness issues. This leaves England with limited options at right-back for their upcoming crucial knockout stage matches.
