England's Quansah suspended for 2 World Cup matches
England will be without Jarell Quansah for its World Cup quarterfinal clash with Norway, as the defender serves a two-match ban for his red card during the round-of-16 win over Mexico, reported Xinhua. Following a VAR review that confirmed a high tackle on Mexico defender Jesus Gallardo, Quansah was sent off in the 54th minute of England's 3-2 victory. FIFA subsequently imposed a two-match suspension, leaving manager Thomas Tuchel with limited defensive depth for the closing stages of the tournament. England will face Norway in Miami on Saturday, while Quansah will also miss the semifinal if England advances. I just found out that it's a two-match ban, which is incredibly frustrating for us and for him, winger Bukayo Saka said on Thursday. But it's the way it is. We're not here to complain, we just need to adapt and pick a team that's ready to beat Norway. Quansah's absence will make England's task against Norway more difficult, with Manchester City striker Erling Haaland having scored seven goals at the World Cup.
