    England defender Jarell Quansah has been banned for two World Cup matches after his red card against Mexico. FIFA classified the high challenge on Jesus Gallardo as serious foul play, ruling him out against Norway and a possible semi-final.

    The FA cannot appeal under tournament rules, though it strongly questioned the VAR process and slow-motion sequencing. The sanction adds pressure on Thomas Tuchel’s right-back options, especially with Reece James still returning from injury concerns.

    Christian Eriksen will begin individual rehabilitation in Denmark after collapsing during a friendly against Ukraine last month. Wolfsburg confirmed the 34-year-old is doing well and will complete his programme at home while the club remains in contact.

    Eriksen said the episode differed from his Euro 2020 cardiac arrest and that his ICD protected him as designed. The former Manchester United and Tottenham midfielder has continued playing in leagues where ICD use is permitted.

    France beat Morocco 2-0 to reach the World Cup semi-finals, with Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele scoring after the break. Mbappe also had a penalty saved before recovering to level Lionel Messi on eight tournament goals.

    Morocco missed Ismael Saibari and struggled to threaten in a conservative strikerless setup. Mbappe later played down an ankle scare after leaving the pitch, saying he was completely fine ahead of a semi-final against Spain or Belgium.

    Manchester United are close to signing Wales goalkeeper Karl Darlow on a free transfer after his Leeds United exit. The 35-year-old would add experienced cover behind Senne Lammens as Michael Carrick reshapes his goalkeeping group.

    Darlow’s arrival is expected to trigger Altay Bayindir’s departure, while Radek Vitek is also likely to leave on loan or permanently. United want extra depth before pre-season begins against Wrexham in Helsinki on 18 July.

    Houston Dynamo are set to trade for Orlando City forward Duncan McGuire, with Orlando receiving $1.25m in general allocation money and up to $1.15m in performance add-ons. Orlando will also retain a sell-on clause.

    McGuire gives Houston a proven MLS scorer after 23 goals across his first two seasons, although injuries slowed his last 18 months. Orlando’s attack has changed after Antoine Griezmann’s arrival, creating room for the deal.

    FC Groningen have filed police reports after scammers impersonated technical director Mo Allach in an elaborate transfer fraud scheme. The fake operation used forged documents, club branding and bogus email addresses to trick agents and players.

    The deception allegedly left an unnamed English footballer stranded at Schiphol airport believing he had secured a move. Fraudsters then sought payment for supposed medical, travel and administrative costs, making the club suspect an organised criminal group.

    Barcelona have submitted an official bid for Borussia Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi after agreeing personal terms with the Germany international. The 24-year-old has told Dortmund he wants to leave following stalled contract talks this summer.

    Dortmund value Adeyemi at about €40m as his contract runs down toward 2027. Hansi Flick is pushing the move because Adeyemi’s pace, pressing and front-line versatility fit Barcelona’s attacking rebuild alongside their continuing pursuit of Julian Alvarez.
