ATLANTA (AP) — England defender Jarell Quansah was handed a two-match suspension on Thursday for his red card offense against Mexico in the World Cup round of 16.
That means Quansah will miss England’s World Cup quarterfinal match against Norway on Saturday and also the semifinals if Thomas Tuchel’s team advances.
Quansah was sent off in the second half of England’s 3-2 victory against Mexico on Sunday for a dangerous foul on Jesus Gallardo.
FIFA confirmed the two-match suspension for serious foul play.
FIFA’s handling of red card punishments has come under intense scrutiny after its disciplinary committee suspended the one-game penalty of star United States striker Folarin Balogun after President Donald Trump intervened and contacted FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
Infantino defended the independence of FIFA’s disciplinary committee and insisted the Balogun case was properly handled.
