The World Cup 2022 is edging closer to the knockout rounds with teams thinking strategically about how they deploy their finest talents in the final round of group stage games.<\/p>\n
Yellow card rules at the tournament could see a bunch of big names rested, especially if those players\u2019 teams are home and dry into the knockout rounds.<\/p>\n
No major tournament will come and go without key players being ruled out of major games, either due to red cards or collecting multiple yellows in their opening games.<\/p>\n
As we wait to see if any major names are handed bans, we run through the current suspension rules issued by FIFA to see who is under threat.<\/p>\n

If a player collects one yellow card in the group stage and one in the quarter-finals, that would result in the player being suspended for the semi-finals.<\/p>\n Following the quarter-finals, yellow card tallies will be wiped clean, meaning an accumulation of yellow cards cannot rule a player out of the final.<\/p>\n Previous rules have meant that yellow card tallies have been wiped clean after the group stages. The 2022 tournament rules have been amended to ensure players don\u2019t miss the final through yellow cards, though players do need to navigate through five matches without picking up two yellow cards, which could be challenging for many.<\/p>\n Expect more than a few suspensions during this tournament.<\/p> Check out our World Cup<\/a> hub for all the latest from Qatar 2022, including match previews, predictions and analysis.<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for something else to watch, check out our\u00a0<\/b>TV Guide<\/b><\/a> or visit our <\/b>Sport<\/b><\/a> hub.<\/b><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is released on sale now \u2013 subscribe now<\/a>.
