England midfielder Lauren James was handed a two-match ban on Thursday following her sending-off against Nigeria in the Round of 16 at the Women’s World Cup.
James was red-carded for violent conduct after standing on Nigeria defender Michelle Alozie.
She will now miss the quarter-final match against Colombia in Sydney on Saturday, and a possible game in the semi-finals.
James has been one of the stars of the tournament, scoring three goals and providing three more assists as England advanced as Group D winners.
She has apologized for her conduct in getting a red card.
