West Ham United have two players who are currently one yellow card away from a suspension in the Europa Conference League going into Thursday's first leg tie against Gent.
The Hammers head to Belgium for the second time this season after beating Anderlecht home and away in the group stage, having reached the quarter-finals after knocking Cypriot side AEK Larnaca last month with a 6-0 aggregate victory.
The sixth and final goal of that tie came from Hammers teenage striker Divin Mubama, whose superb backheel flick saw him score his first-ever senior goal.

However, just two minutes after his goal, Mubama was shown a yellow card, his second in Europe this season, having been booked on his full senior debut against FCSB in November.
He and experienced centre-back Angelo Ogbonna are on two yellow cards each, with UEFA handing out one-match bans for players booked three times prior to the completion of the quarter-finals.
Because of the UEFA’s suspension laws, midfielder Flynn Downes missed last month's second leg win over Larnaca, having got his third European booking in the first leg.
Players can only be banned for three or five bookings from between the start of the group stages and the end of the quarter-finals. Downes is therefore the only player who could get a suspension for five yellows, if booked in both legs against Gent this month.
Besides Downes, Ogbonna, and Mubama, no player is on more than one booking. In total, 13 West Ham players are on one booking and can only get banned with a caution in both legs against Belgian side Gent.
Europa Conference League yellow cards (not including play-off qualifying round) -
Flynn Downes – 3
Angelo Ogbonna and Divin Mubama - 2
Manuel Lanzini, Thilo Kehrer, Vladimir Coufal, Emerson, Gianluca Scamacca, Conor Coventry, Aaron Cresswell, Tomas Soucek, Lucas Paqueta, Ben Johnson, Maxwel Cornet, Nayef Aguerd and Ollie Scarles - 1
