England defender Jarell Quansah banned for two World Cup games after red card in last-16 win over Mexico

England defender Jarell Quansah has been banned for two matches following his red card in their World Cup last-16 victory over Mexico.

Quansah will miss England's quarter-final clash with Norway on Saturday and a potential semi-final against either Argentina or Switzerland next week.

Quansah was found to have breached article 14 of the FIFA code of conduct, which states a player would get a two game ban for serious foul play. England will not be able to appeal the decision.

Quansah started at right-back against Mexico but was shown a straight red in the 54th minute after recklessly sliding in on Jesus Gallardo after a VAR check.

Quansah's ban leaves Thomas Tuchel with limited options at right-back. Reece James has not featured since picking up a hamstring injury in England's second group game against Ghana. Djed Spence was only deemed fit enough to start on the bench in the 3-2 win over Mexico after he was nursing an injury.
