The contest’s important match, which will decide who goes to the finals, is now being prepared for by the players. However, a large number of booked players won’t be able to participate in the following game.
For instance, the Netherlands vs. Argentina match featured the most yellow cards ever handed in a World Cup game with 18.
- FIFA has put in place different regulations, and this is how they operate:
FIFA has dramatically changed the suspension, and those who have received the most yellow cards may not be suspended because all penalties will be lifted following the quarterfinals and new bookings will start.
Players who receive a second yellow card in the quarterfinals will be disqualified from the tournament in accordance with FIFA rules for the 2022 competition. Last but not least, a player who obtains a red card in a quarterfinal game might be benched for the semifinal game.
Ultimately, the yellow card was eliminated following the quarterfinals. Furthermore, only 23 players were issued yellow cards throughout the knockout round, and no England players were already in danger of receiving a knockout stage booking when the game entered its final four quarters.
However, Here is the list of players who will be absent from the semifinal game due to suspension or doubt due to injury.
Only three players will be suspended, and neither France nor Croatia will have any players suspended for their matchup in the semifinals.
