Craig Forrest, the Ipswich Town goalkeeper, and West Bromwich Albion's Paul Peschisolido were both sent off for violent conduct while playing for Canada in Panama in a World Cup qualifying match on Sunday. Panama also had a player sent off in the 0-0 draw. Peschisolido's dismissal rules him out of Canada's next match but means he can return to England earlier than expected and he should be available for Albion's match at Swindon next Wednesday - a game he was originally due to miss.
