A Labour MP, Noah Law, has called on FIFA President Gianni Infantino to postpone Jarell Quansah’s red card suspension until after the FIFA World Cup.

Law argued that suspending the England defender during the tournament would be a significant blow to the national team and appealed for FIFA to allow Quansah to remain available for the remainder of England’s World Cup campaign before serving his ban.

FIFA has yet to respond publicly to the request, leaving Quansah’s suspension unchanged for now. England will await an official decision as they prepare for their next World Cup fixture. By Reuben Obodai
