During an era in which officiating is stricter and VAR is on hand to ensure no stone is left unturned, it’s never been harder to avoid retribution in the Premier League.

Long gone are the days of unpunished lunges and off-the-ball conflicts, with a sea of cameras now focused on every blade of grass. Yellow and red cards have never been more prolific.

With more regular refereeing interventions come more suspensions, whether through a direct dismissal or an accumulation of bookings across the campaign.

Here is the latest suspension news and Premier League yellow card tracker.

Currently Suspended Players

There were two red cards across the Premier League before the international break, with Manchester United’s Harry Maguire and Burnley’s Josh Laurent receiving their marching orders for denying clear goal-scoring opportunities.

As a result, both defenders have picked up one-game bans.

Brighton & Hove Albion captain Lewis Dunk will miss the next game after the international break after he earned his 10th yellow card of the Premier League season in the 2–1 win over Liverpool. Dunk sat out of Brighton’s 2–0 victory at Burnley.

Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Yerson Mosquera was unable to hold out until the deadline, as he picked up his 10th booking of the Premier League season in Wolves’ 4–0 defeat West Ham United.

Players Close to Receiving Ban

Now that we’re well beyond the halfway point of the season, players who receive 10 Premier League yellow cards up to and including Gameweek 32 of the campaign will serve a two-match suspension. Several are treading dangerous ground.

Three players are currently holding nine yellow cards in the Premier League and can still be suspended. These are Chelsea’s Moisés Caicedo, Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva and Newcastle United’s Joelinton. The midfield battle at Stamford Bridge may be worth keeping an eye on when Chelsea and City lock horns.

While an array of players have walked a tightrope in recent weeks, the likes of Cristian Romero and Enzo Fernández have avoided two-game bans.
