Miguel Almiron received a yellow card in Paraguay's World Cup opener against the United States, increasing his risk of suspension. He must avoid a second yellow card in upcoming matches against Turkiye and Australia to remain eligible. A suspension occurs if a player accumulates two yellow cards in the group stage. The yellow card count resets after this stage, meaning Almiron could reset his status if he stays caution-free through this round.
