BREAKING: The 11 Championship players from Norwich City, Hull, and Preston who might face two-match suspensions in the play-off race..
The Championship league currently sees 11 players from various teams, including Norwich City, Hull, and Preston, facing the risk of being suspended for two matches as the race for the play-offs intensifies. These players, who are crucial to their teams’ ambitions of securing a spot in the play-offs, are walking a fine line with their disciplinary records.
One such player is Preston North End’s defender, Liam Lindsay, who is eagerly seeking a victory in the upcoming match against Hull City. However, equally important for him would be to navigate through the game without receiving a yellow card, as doing so would provide a significant boost to his team.
For Lindsay, avoiding a booking in the clash against Hull City is imperative, considering Preston has already played 34 games this season. The threshold for triggering an automatic two-match suspension due to accumulating 10 yellow cards is at the 37-game mark. With Preston rekindling their hopes of securing a play-off spot, the focus shifts to players like Lindsay, who are on the brink of suspension as they approach this critical milestone.
In scrutinizing players on the verge of suspension, attention is particularly directed towards those teams in contention for the top six spots, including Hull, Norwich, West Brom, and Sunderland. Notably, teams like Leicester City, Leeds United, Ipswich Town, and Southampton currently hold commanding positions in the league standings.
It’s important to note that any player accumulating 15 bookings before the season’s conclusion automatically incurs a three-match suspension. Among those already on thin ice with 10 bookings for the season include players like Sam Morsy from Ipswich (12), Ben Pearson from Stoke (11), Jack Colback and Sam Field from QPR (both 10), Jordan Thompson from Stoke (10), Dan Ballard from Sunderland (10), Ryan Porteous from Watford (10), and Jannik Vestergaard from Leicester (10).
