Pedri at risk of suspension ahead of Spain's knockout match

Summary

Spain's World Cup journey saw a 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia following an initial setback against Cape Verde. Midfielder Pedri Gonzalez is currently one yellow card away from missing Spain's Round of 32 clash, having received a booking in the opening match. If he receives another card against Uruguay, he will be suspended for the knockout round. FIFA rules state that two yellow cards in separate games during the same stage lead to a one-game ban. Pedri is expected to start against Uruguay, where avoiding a booking will be critical for his availability in the knockout phase.
