Eleven players from six countries remain one booking away from suspension as the 2026 FIFA World Cup quarter-finals continue.

Morocco’s exit from the tournament has removed its four cautioned players from the disciplinary watchlist, leaving 11 players at risk of missing the semi-finals if they receive another yellow card.

Under FIFA regulations, any player who accumulates two yellow cards before the semi-finals serves a one-match suspension.

The players at risk are:

England

– Jude Bellingham – Midfielder

– Marc Guehi – Defender

– Nico O’Reilly – Midfielder

– Declan Rice – Midfielder

Switzerland

– Miro Muheim – Defender

– Granit Xhaka – Midfielder

– Denis Zakaria – Midfielder

Belgium

– Brandon Mechele – Defender

Argentina

– Gonzalo Montiel – Defender

Norway

– Antonio Nusa – Forward

Spain

– Ferran Torres – Forward

With places in the semi-finals at stake, these players will need to balance discipline with strong performances, knowing that another caution would result in an automatic one-match suspension. (The Nation)
