EFL suspension rules explained as Bristol City duo Alex Scott and Joe Williams walk a tightrope

Bristol City have two players who run the risk of a two-match ban for disciplinary purposes if they pick up another yellow card within the next couple of weeks.

Midfielders Alex Scott and Joe Williams are one yellow card away from missing two Championship fixtures having accumulated nine bookings throughout the season. EFL rules state players will face a suspension for picking up five, 10, 15 and 20 yellow cards.

However, there is a cut-off point that applies if a player picks up 10 yellow cards. It comes into effect after the 37th league game of the season which means both Scott and Williams will want to avoid collecting another caution in their next five matches.
