Marlon Gomes and Kai Havertz at risk of Champions League suspension

As of October 22, 2026, a total of 16 players in the Champions League have received two yellow cards this season, putting them close to a one-match ban if they receive two more. Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Marlon Gomes currently sits on three yellow cards, which places him on the brink of suspension. Players receiving four yellow cards before the semi-finals will face a one-match ban, with the rule remaining in place from the league phase through to the quarter-finals. Other players facing potential suspensions include Kai Havertz of Arsenal and several others who have accumulated two yellow cards each. Following the quarter-finals, all yellow card counts are reset, eliminating the risk of suspension for multiple yellow cards.
