"I don't think so," Tuchel said when asked whether his public comments about referees could have played a role. "We also have no explanation."
The upgraded ban arrives amid wider controversy surrounding FIFA's disciplinary process. United States forward Folarin Balogun had his one-game suspension extended to a full year following his sending off against Bosnia and Herzegovina, before being cleared to play in the 4-1 defeat to Belgium.
Rice, Guehi, and James available for Norway
Despite the uncertainty over Quansah, Tuchel was handed a significant boost heading into Saturday's quarter-final against Norway in Miami. Declan Rice, Marc Guehi, and Reece James all took part in Friday's training session and have been confirmed available for selection.
Rice had been kept away from teammates after falling ill following England's last-16 victory over Mexico, while Guehi had missed a training session in Kansas City amid concerns about a hamstring problem. James, meanwhile, had been sidelined since sustaining a hamstring injury during England's group stage clash against Ghana — Friday marked his return to full training.
"We had everyone available in training. That's the best news," Tuchel said at his press conference. "We have the full choice except for our suspended player."
Kane ready to battle Haaland
The quarter-final sets up a fascinating duel between two of the tournament's top scorers. Erling Haaland leads the way with seven goals at his debut World Cup, while England captain Harry Kane sits one behind on six — and is set to equal Wayne Rooney's record as England's most-capped outfield player.
Kane was measured but respectful when discussing his Norway counterpart. "Erling has been incredible," he said. "Physically, he's a machine. His finishing is at the highest level, and obviously his goal-scoring record speaks for itself."
Kane was quick to draw a distinction between their styles. "I see myself as a different player, although I score the same goals. I like to be a little more involved. I don't think he's one to compare ourselves to."
"I respect him a lot as a player, as a fellow professional. Obviously, I'm hoping he has a quiet day tomorrow, but I think his overall performance over these recent years speaks for itself," Kane added.
Tuchel, for his part, acknowledged that England's performance in the hostile atmosphere of the Azteca had been an important milestone — but insisted the squad's focus had already shifted entirely to what lies ahead. "We left this match behind. We take the positive things and the belief with us, but everything that matters is ahead of us," he said.
