Quick hits: It's the Mbappé show again, as England defender cops ban

An England defender cops a whack for a red card tackle, Mbappé fluffs a penalty in Boston, but then produces a worldie and an injury scare.

Red cards at this World Cup have taken on extra scrutiny after certain events, so perhaps it's no surprise that England defender Jarell Quansah has been handed a two-match ban for his terrible tackle against Mexico in the round of 16. 

It means Quansah will miss England's quarterfinal match against Norway in Miami Gardens on Saturday and also the semifinals if Thomas Tuchel's team advances.

‘Very upset’: ‘Mystery’ ban leaves England coach ‘furious’

England manager Thomas Tuchel is said to be “furious” over the two-match ban handed defender Jarell Quansah, and has asked the English FA to file a complaint over the decision by FIFA’s disciplinary committee.

Quansah was given his marching orders following a red card in the team’s World Cup last-16 victory over Mexico, leaving Tuchel short of backline options for the latter stages of the tournament.

Tuchel’s frustration reportedly stems from referee Alireza Faghan first being shown a still image of Quansah’s challenge.

The absence of the Bayer Leverkusen man adds an extra headache to Thomas Tuchel’s selection at right-back.

Chelsea captain Reece James has missed the last three games after picking up a hamstring injury and is the only natural right-back in Tuchel’s squad.
