KANSAS CITY, Missouri, July 9 : England defender Jarell Quansah has been suspended for two matches following his red card in the team’s World Cup last-16 victory over Mexico, leaving manager Thomas Tuchel short of back-line options for the latter stages of the tournament.
Quansah was sent off after a video review determined that he made a sliding studs-up tackle.
The English FA said it was not able to appeal against the suspension, without giving further details.
The two-match ban means Quansah will miss England’s quarter-final against Norway on Saturday in Miami and a potential semi-final should they advance.
The defender would only be available again for selection if England reach the World Cup final.
The suspension is a setback for Tuchel as England attempt to continue their run in the tournament, with the team’s defensive problems compounded by injuries.
