2025–26 Premier League Card Tracker: Players Suspended, Close to Ban

During an era in which officiating is stricter and VAR is on hand to ensure no stone is left unturned, it’s never been harder to avoid retribution in the Premier League.

Long gone are the days of unpunished lunges and off-the-ball conflicts, with a sea of cameras now focussed on every blade of grass. Yellow and red cards have never been more prolific.

With more regular refereeing interventions comes more suspensions, whether through a direct dismissal or an accumulation of bookings across the campaign.

Here is the latest suspension news and Premier League yellow card tracker.

Newcastle’s Jacob Ramsey, sent off against Manchester United on Wednesday March 4, is eligible to play in the club’s next Premier League game as his ban will instead be served in the FA Cup fifth round. The same can be said for Tottenham Hotspur’s Micky van de Ven following his red card against Crystal Palace.

There are currently no suspended players.

Now we have passed the halfway point of the season, players who receive 10 Premier League yellow cards up to and including Gameweek 32 of the campaign will serve a two-match suspension. No players have hit the threshold yet, but there are some treading dangerous ground.

Four players are currently holding nine yellow cards in the Premier League, three of whom play for Wolverhampton Wanderers. Midfield duo João Gomes and André are joined by centre back Yerson Mosquera on the precipice, alongside Brighton & Hove Albion captain Lewis Dunk.

Tough-tackler Moisés Caicedo is walking a tightrope over the coming weeks—he’s on eight yellow cards, as are Kyle Walker, Álex Jiménez, Marcos Senesi, Enzo Fernández, Bernardo Silva, Joelinton and the aforementioned Romero.
