England forward Lauren James received a two-match ban from FIFA on Thursday for the stamp on Nigeria's Michelle Alozie that earned her a red card in the Women's World Cup last 16.
The 21-year-old Chelsea attacker was sent off in the 87th minute of Monday's match in Brisbane, which European champions England went on to win on penalties.
She will miss England's quarter-final against Colombia in Sydney on Saturday as well as a potential semi-final, but would be available to return should the Lionesses reach the final on August 20.
James apologised on Tuesday to Alozie over the incident, tweeting: "All my love and respect to you." "I am sorry for what happened," added James.
