James was red carded for stamping on the back of Super Falcons right-back Michelle Alozie.
The European champions survived her dismissal to progress to the last-16 4-2 on penalties.
The dismissal came with an automatic one-game ban which FIFA has increased, meaning she will miss the semi-final if England get there.
Sarina Wiegman’s side will take on Colombia in the quarter -finals on Saturday.
The 21-year-old will only take part in the competition again if England make it to the semi-final. READ ALSO:
