English Lauren James was fined by FIFA with a two-match ban for attacking Nigerian Michelle Alozi, which led to a direct red card for the Chelsea striker in the 87th minute of the round of 16 match FIFA World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023 that he ended up leading his team in the penalty shootout.
James, who apologized for his act via social media last Tuesday, could only play in the tournament finals if his team managed to qualify for the title match or third place match.
England will not be able to count on James against Colombia on Saturday.
