Harry Kane and Yves Bissouma have both picked up three yellow cards so far this season, which means they are just two more bookings away from a one-match suspension.
The Premier League’s rules state that players who receive five bookings within the first half of the season (19 Premier League games), will have to serve a suspension for one game ban.
Meanwhile, players who accumulate ten yellow cards before their team’s 32nd fixture will have to serve a two-match ban. Bookings accumulated in the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup will not be considered in this total.
Kane picked up a yellow at the Amex Stadium for a deliberate handball inside the opposition box as he was trying to control a pass while Bissoumma was also cautioned for a foul.
PremeirLeague.com state that the striker and the midfielder are now both on three yellows, which means that if they pick up two more yellows within the next ten matches, they will have to serve a one-match ban.
Meanwhile, the website also reveals that Rodrigo Bentanur, Richarlison and Ivan Perisic are on two yellows so far this season, which means they are three cautions away from a suspension.
Spurs Web Opinion
This is something that Conte and his coaching staff will certainly be mindful of and they will communicate to both Bissouma and Kane that they are at risk of being cautioned.
I am not too concerned regarding Kane as he does not tend to rack up yellows but Bissouma’s status is a bit of a concern, given that he plays in midfield and would occasionally be expected to commit tactical fouls.
