FA considering appeal after Quansah red card

The Football Association is considering whether to appeal against England defender Jarell Quansah's red card during the World Cup victory over Mexico.

Quansah was sent off in the 54th minute of Sunday's 3-2 win following a high challenge on Jesus Gallardo.

The FA is considering its options after United States striker Folarin Balogun had a red card overturned following intervention from US President Donald Trump.

Trump asked Fifa to review Balogun's one-match suspension after he was sent off for a foul on Bosnia-Herzegovina defender Tarik Muharemovic in the last 32.

The 25-year-old was was set to miss his side's last-16 tie against Belgium on Tuesday, but Fifa made the shock decision to suspend the automatic one-match ban for 12 months.

That led to widespread criticism within the game, including from European football's governing body, Belgium and England boss Thomas Tuchel.

The decision to overturn Balogun's red card could spark a host of appeals, with the Athletic reporting, external France are challenging Michael Olise's yellow card during their victory over Paraguay.

BBC Sport has approached the French Football Federation for comment.

The right-back position has been an area of concern for Tuchel.

Reece James, Djed Spence, Ezri Konsa, John Stones, Quansah and midfielder Declan Rice have all featured as right-sided defenders during the World Cup.

James, who is the first-choice right-back, has been unavailable since injuring a hamstring in their second group match against Ghana - missing games against Panama, DR Congo and Mexico.

Quansah, meanwhile, sustained an injury against Panama but was fit enough to start against Mexico.
