SportFootballThomas TuchelEngland boss Thomas Tuchel is far from pleased by FIFA's ban decision on Jarell Quansah with a request to the FA made immediately after learning the outcomeThomas Tuchel is said to be furious at the decision to suspend Jarell Quansah for two World Cup matches. FIFA confirmed their sanction on Thursday with the England boss swiftly asking the FA to make clear their anger at the decision made by FIFA’s disciplinary committee.According to Sky Sports, Tuchel's anger stems from referee Alireza Faghan first being shown a still image of Quansah's studs on Jesus Gallardo's shin.

FIFA officially confirmed the outcome in a statement on Thursday.That 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 5 July 2026 at Mexico City 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.”Quansah is therefore set to miss England's quarter-final against Norway and a potential semi-final against Switzerland or Argentina.Tuchel is also likely furious because of FIFA's decision to suspend Folarin Balogun's ban for 12 months.

The decision is made. Do we appeal (Jarell Quansah red)?”France also failed in their appeal to have that booking removed which means the Bayern Munich star will be suspended for a potential semi-final if he is cautioned against Morocco.Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham, Nico O'Reilly and Harry Kane are the England players at risk of being suspended.
