England is considering a protest after Jarell Quansah's red card against Mexico.

The Bayer Leverkusen player was shown the card after a tough, but unintentional tackle.

FA Considers Appeal

As reported by English media, the English FA is now also considering a protest to allow the defender to play against Norway.

At the press conference, Tuchel already appeared confused: "Where does this stop? Do we appeal if a yellow card isn't a yellow card? (…) The decision has been made. Who overturns this decision? And when? And on what grounds?"
