Lauren James Gets Two-match Ban for Stamping Alozie

Sport | 1 year ago

England forward Lauren James has been given a two-match ban by FIFA for her red card in the Women’s World Cup game with Nigeria.

James, 21, was sent off for stamping on the back of Michelle Alozie in the last 16-tie, which England won on penalties.

The dismissal came with an automatic one-game ban which FIFA has increased, meaning she will miss the semi-final if England get there.

The Lionesses face Colombia in the quarter-finals on Saturday.

James is England’s top scorer in the tournament, having scored three goals, as well as assisting three more, in the group stages.

Today, Spain will battle the Netherlands for a place in the semi final while Japan face Sweden for a Last Four ticket.
