		</div><p>Lauren James has apologised to Michelle Alozie for the incident which led to her being sent off during England’s last-16 World Cup win over Nigeria and vowed to learn from the experience.</p>
<p>The forward was dismissed for deliberately standing on the back of Nigeria defender Alozie with three minutes of normal time remaining in Brisbane.</p>
<p>England survived the dismissal to advance to the quarter-finals 4-2 on penalties after the game finished goalless following extra time.</p>
<p>In response to a tweet from Alozie, James posted: “All my love and respect to you. I am sorry for what happened.</p>
<p>“Also, for our England fans and my team-mates, playing with and for you is my greatest honour and I promise to learn from my experience.”</p>
<p>James will miss Saturday’s quarter-final against Colombia in Sydney due to an automatic one-match ban.</p>
<p>The suspension could be extended to three games by FIFA’s disciplinary committee, meaning she would be unavailable for the remainder of the tournament.</p>
<p>England believe the incident was “wholly out of character” and intend to make representation on the 21-year-old’s behalf during the disciplinary process.</p>
<p>“Lauren is really sorry for her actions which led to the red card and is full of remorse,” an England statement read. “It is wholly out of character for her.</p>
<p>“We will be supporting Lauren throughout and will be putting forward representation on her behalf.</p>
<p>“We fully respect FIFA’s disciplinary process and will not be making any further comment until after any decision has been made.”</p>
<p>James became the fourth England player to be sent off in a World Cup knockout match after David Beckham, Wayne Rooney and current Lionesses captain Millie Bright.</p>
<p>England boss Sarina Wiegman admitted James had “lost her emotions” during a moment of indiscretion.</p>
<p>Opponent Alozie had earlier tweeted in defence of James.</p>
<p>She posted: “Abeg, rest. We are playing on the world’s stage. This game is one of passion, insurmountable emotions, and moments. All respect for Lauren James.”</p>
