Every one of the eight quarter-finalists at the North American World Cup has at least one player who faces a one-match suspension if they receive a yellow card in their upcoming game.
A total of 17 players are walking a disciplinary tightrope. Morocco and England each have four players at risk, while Switzerland has three, and France two. Spain, Norway, Belgium, and Argentina are in a much better position, with only one player each facing a suspension if they pick up a second yellow card in the tournament. It's worth noting that all accumulated yellow cards are reset after the quarter-final stage, ensuring players don't miss the final four matches of the World Cup due to card accumulation.
Here are all the players on a yellow card warning ahead of the 2026 World Cup Quarter-Finals:
France: Manu Koné and Michael Olise
Morocco: Issa Diop, Achraf Hakimi, Redouane Halal, and Bilal El Khannouss
Spain: Ferran Torres
Belgium: Brandon Mechele
Norway: Antonio Nusa
England: Jude Bellingham, Nico O'Reilly, Declan Rice, Marc Guéhi
Argentina: Gonzalo Montiel
Switzerland: Granit Xhaka, Denis Zakaria, Miro Muheim
