Update on the yellow card: Three Spurs players are only a few cards away from suspension

With players like James Maddison, Micky van de Ven, Pape Matar Sarr, Richarlison, Manor Solomon, Rodrigo Bentancur, Ryan Sessegnon, and Ivan Perisic sitting on the treatment table, Ange Postecoglou’s team has been completely destroyed by injuries.

To make matters worse, Yves Bissouma was also banned for the encounter against Aston Villa after receiving five yellow cards, while Cristian Romero was also suspended for the previous two games and will miss one more.

Tottenham must exercise caution when it comes to Premier League sanctions.

Though Bissouma’s number of yellow cards is no longer an urgent concern, Postecoglou still runs the possibility of losing a few more players to suspension in the upcoming weeks.

According to Premier League regulations, a player who receives five bookings in his team’s first 19 league games would miss one match of the competition.

Tottenham does not have a single player with four yellow vehicles, but three individuals—Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Pape Mattar Sarr, and Destiny Udogie—do.

This implies that one game will be missed by any of these three players if they receive two cautions in the next six games.
