England Player Jarell Quansah Suspended for Two Games at the World Cup

On Thursday, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee suspended England defender Jarell Quansah for two World Cup matches, ruling him out of Saturday's quarterfinal against Norway.
Officials determined Quansah's 54th-minute high tackle on Mexico defender Jesus Gallardo constituted "serious foul play" during England's 3-2 victory, though the team played the final 36 minutes with a man disadvantage.
England head coach Thomas Tuchel expressed frustration, calling the officiating "not good enough" and questioning where VAR should draw the line on red card interventions.
The suspension compounds defensive concerns as Tuchel monitors Reece James's fitness; the midfielder remains sidelined with hamstring trouble while Ezri Konsa has filled in at right-back.
Sources told ESPN the English FA weighed potential appeals, citing FIFA's decision to suspend USMNT striker Folarin Balogun's one-game ban for 12 months after President Donald Trump's intervention.
