Jarell Quansah suspension appeal
by Jolyon: Jarell Quansah
England's Football Association is reportedly weighing an appeal to FIFA to get Jarell Quansah's suspension overturned. The defender was sent off against Mexico, which ruled him out of the quarterfinal match against Norway. However, after Folarin Balogun successfully had his ban rescinded, there is growing hope that Quansah could receive similar treatment.

Just want to bring you an update on that news regarding President Trump and the intervention in the World Cup. We are hearing that his intervention to lift that red card suspension might actually help England, because Sky News understands the Football Association is considering appealing to FIFA to ask for Gerald Kwanzaa's suspension to be lifted, just as the US player following Balogun's automatic ban for being sent off was dropped for the World Cup. Kwanzaa was sent off, you'll remember, of course, during that 3-2 victory over Mexico, so stands to miss the quarterfinal clash with Norway. But the FA is figuring out the prospect of seeking FIFA's approval to have the defender available. We shall see how that plays out. Thank you.
