One of England’s key players will miss the quarterfinals of the Women’s World Cup – and the semifinals if they advance – a tough blow as the Lionesses hope to make a run for the trophy
FIFA on Thursday banned Lauren James for two international games after she was sent off for stepping on the back of Nigeria’s Michelle Alozie during the Round of 16 at Brisbane Stadium on Monday. It means James can’t be selected for Saturday’s quarterfinal against Colombia in Sydney and will also be out of commission if the Lionesses advance to the semis. A day after being shown the red card, James apologized to both Alozie and England fans, tweeting, “I am sorry for what happened.
It is wholly out of character for her,” the Lionesses tweeted. James initially received a yellow card for what appeared to be a petulant and deliberate decision to step on Alozie. After a review from the video assistant referee , the punishment was upgraded to a red card, leaving England to finish the match down a player.
