England have been dealt a blow as defender Jarell Quansah’s suspension has been upgraded to two games.Quansah was sent off following a VAR review during the Three Lions’ 3-2 win over Mexico in the World Cup round of 16.The defender had a moment to forget against Mexico, and his tournament could be overGettyThe length of suspension means Quansah can only return if England reach the World Cup final.A FIFA statement read: “The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has imposed the following sanction on England’s national-team player Jarell Quansah, who was sent off as a result of a direct red card during the FIFA World Cup 2026 match between Mexico and England played on July 5 2026 at Mexico Stadium: 2-match suspension for a breach of article 14 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code.“The suspension will be served in the upcoming match(es) of the representative team of England in the FIFA World Cup 2026 and in accordance with art. 69 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code.”News of Quansah’s extended ban may be a source of frustration within the England camp due to United States forward Folarin Balogun having his one-match suspension removed following an intervention from the White House.Balogun was given a red card during the USMNT’s Round of 32 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, which meant he would be absent from their Round of 16 clash against Belgium.However, the ban was then altered into a suspended two-match ban thanks to pressure from US President Donald Trump.Ultimately it mattered little as Belgium thrashed the co-hosts 4-1.Who will start at right-back for England against Norway?With Quansah now suspended for the next two games, it leaves England boss Thomas Tuchel without a key right-back option.Adding to Tuchel’s woes is the fact Reece James is still battling to be ready to play 90 minutes.It leaves Djed Spence in pole position to start for England in their World Cup quarter-final against Norway on Saturday, provided he can prove he is fully fit.Tuchel has a team selection dilemma on his hands following Quansah’s upgraded suspensionGettyCentre-back Ezri Konsa is an option to play at right-back, but talkSPORT understands Tuchel is reluctant to break up the partnership between the Aston Villa star and Marc Guehi.The right-back position has proved to be a point of frustration for England at this World Cup.James started there for England’s first two World Cup group fixtures but has not played since due to a hamstring injury.Quansah then came into the starting line-up for the 2-0 win over Panama to round out the group stage, only for Spence to start in England’s 2-1 victory over DR Congo in the Round of 32.This is a developing story and is being updated.For the latest updates, breaking news alerts, and comprehensive analysis, refresh this page or follow our real-time news coverage by watching and listening to talkSPORT live.For broader context, explore related coverage on our homepage for the top trending stories.
