Quansah red card rules him out of quarterfinal and potential semi

Jarell Quansah has been suspended for two World Cup matches following his red card against Mexico, ruling him out of England’s quarterfinal against Norway and a potential semi-final.

England’s right-back injury crisis just got worse. Quansah, sent off in the 54th minute against Mexico for a high tackle, will now miss Saturday’s quarterfinal in Miami and the semi-final should England advance, according to ESPN.

It leaves Thomas Tuchel light at right-back, with Reece James still nursing hamstring trouble. Tuchel also voiced frustration over FIFA’s decision to overturn Folarin Balogun’s ban following Donald Trump’s intervention, asking:

“Where does this start and where does this end now?… Where to draw the line is the question that I ask. I have no answer to that.”
