As Premier League rules state, the five-yellow suspension rule resets after the 19th game of the season, which is a trip to Man Utd on 30th December. After that, it moves to a two-match ban for those who accumulate 10 yellows over the first 32 games of the campaign.
Two suspensions confirmed at Newcastle United
by Olly Hawkins ·
Dan Burn and Sean Longstaff will both serve one-match bans over the coming month after an accumulation of yellow cards in the league and cup.
It was a brilliant performance and result at Nottingham Forest yesterday, but it did feature a fifth booking of the season for Burn, who was penalised by Anthony Taylor moments after Ryan Yates' elbow in Tino Livramento's face that went unpunished.
As unfortunate and unfair as this may be, it means Burn will be suspended for our Monday Night Football clash with West Ham two weeks today, handing Lloyd Kelly a rare chance to impress at centre-back after a standout display against Chelsea in the cup.
Elsewhere, it's also been confirmed that Sean Longstaff will be absent for our Carabao Cup quarter-final against Brentford on Wednesday 18th December after picking up his second booking of the competition in that 2-0 win over Chelsea in the last 16.
Back to Premier League affairs, Newcastle have two other players just one booking away from a one-game ban, with Joelinton and Fabian Schar currently on four yellows for the season.
