Saka Frustrated As Quansah Banned Two Games
England defender Jarrell Quansah faces a two-match ban after his red card in the World Cup Round of 16 win over Mexico, frustrating teammate Bukayo Saka ahead of the semi-final against Norway.
Bukayo Saka of the England national team was upset after teammate Jarrell Quansah, a defender, was handed a two-match suspension for receiving a red card during England's 3-2 victory over Mexico in the Round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup. Quansah was sent off in that match, and FIFA subsequently confirmed the two-match ban.
Saka responded to the situation, saying: "I just found out about it—it's quite frustrating, but that's how things are right now." He added, "We need to deal with it and adapt to prepare ourselves for the next match."
England will face Norway in the semi-final round on July 12 at 4:00 AM Thailand time.
