England are down to ten men in their FIFA World Cup 2026 fixture against Mexico after defender Jarrel Quansah received a red card following a VAR review.

The decision came after Quansah's challenge on Mexico's Jesús Gallardo was flagged for review, with the foul described as a "nasty, nasty challenge" — leaving England with a significant numerical disadvantage for a crucial portion of the match.

The VAR intervention upgraded the original decision to a straight red card, reducing England to ten men at a critical moment in the contest.
