Quansah handed two-game ban after red card leaves England short for World Cup qualifiers
FIFA have confirmed Jarell Quansah will serve a two-match suspension after his red card in England's 3-2 victory over Mexico on Monday, dealing a defensive blow to the national side.
FIFA have confirmed that England defender Jarell Quansah will miss two matches after receiving a red card during England’s 3-2 win over Mexico on Monday.
Quansah was dismissed following a VAR review in the second half of the contest, and the governing body have now formalised the length of his suspension, ruling him out of England’s next two fixtures.
The ban represents a notable setback for England’s defensive options, with Quansah having established himself as a key figure in the backline. Losing him for two games limits the selection choices available to the coaching staff at a critical stage of the international calendar.
Further details on the specific matches covered by the suspension, and any official response from the Football Association, are expected in due course.
