"It's the time of year when plenty of Premier League players will be treading extra-carefully as they try to avoid a potentially costly yellow card. Up to a certain point in the season, receiving five yellow cards in the Premier League leads to an automatic one-match suspension. But the date is approaching when the players at highest risk can breathe a sigh of relief that they won't run afoul of that regulation."
"At time of writing there are a couple of dozen Premier League players still at risk, while others have already picked up five bookings and been hit with a suspension. To avoid joining that club, those who are on four yellow cards need to make sure they don't pick up another by the end of the team's 19th game. This season,"
Gianluigi Donnarumma is one of the Premier League players at risk of a ban. Manchester United's Casemiro is among the players to have reached five yellow cards before the cut-off. At time of writing there are a couple of dozen players still at risk, while others have already been suspended after five bookings. Players on four yellow cards must avoid another by the end of their side's 19th Premier League game to avoid the one-match suspension. Matchday 19 this season falls on the round nominally scheduled for New Year's Day fixtures, with some games played on December 30. Once a player reaches a 20th game, they are in the clear.
