United States to appeal Jones, Wood suspensions

United States announced they have filed an official protest against the suspensions issued to Jermaine Jones and Bobby Wood following their win over Ecuador in the Copa America Centenario quarter-finals. 

Hosts USA defeated their South American opponents 2-1 to book their spot in the semi-finals of the competition, but it came at a cost.

Jones was shown a straight red card for lashing out at Michael Arroyo in a melee caused by Antonio Valencia kicking Alejandro Bedoya - also seeing the Manchester United man sent off.
