England could be expelled from next year's World Cup in Russia as MPs exercised a Commons debate which could well lead to FIFA rules being broken. 

The debate will be held this week and it's expected that critics of the FA will seek to find new legislation which will lead to the reformation of the association. 

As reported by ?The Sun, the MP's on the Culture Media & Sport Committee have highlighted the move for change and it is expected that up to five former FA employees will be spearheading the reformation. 

However, FIFA rules state that nations who are run by their respective member associations are to have no political interference whatsoever and those who do, risk being thrown out of upcoming tournaments. 

FIFA have remained silent on the matter and haven't provided a statement to date, but Articles 19 & 14 from its Statutes confirm the following: "Each member association shall manage their affairs independently and without undue influence from third parties.

"Violations may also lead to sanctions, even if the third-party influence was not the fault of the member association concerned."

It wouldn't be the first time that FIFA have thrown a nation out from an upcoming competition. Kuwait were removed from the third round of Asian qualifying for next year's World Cup.
