Several players risk suspension ahead of World Cup Round of 32

As the 2026 World Cup group stage draws to a close, numerous players stand on the brink of suspension. A total of 25 players have received one yellow card, meaning a second caution in their final group match would rule them out of the Round of 32. This includes players from various teams such as USA, Netherlands, and Brazil. The new suspension rules reset yellow cards after the group stage, allowing players a fresh start in the knockout rounds unless they incur another booking in their last group game. Maintaining discipline is crucial for these athletes as they aim to participate in the next phase of the tournament.
