As England gears up for their quarterfinal clash against Switzerland in the upcoming European Championship, a significant challenge lies ahead on their path to the title. Should they overcome Switzerland, the semifinals could prove even more daunting, as five key players are at risk of suspension before that crucial match.
In their previous fixture against Slovakia, Gey, Meenu, and Bellingham all picked up yellow cards within just 17 minutes of play, while Foden, Trippier, and Gallagher have already received bookings earlier in the tournament. Gey’s accumulation of two yellow cards will see him miss the Switzerland game. The other five players are now on thin ice, potentially missing the semifinal if they receive another caution.
Switzerland, having impressively knocked out defending champions Italy, have shown their strength, and England will need to dig deep to secure victory. However, according to the tournament rules, any yellow cards accumulated in the quarterfinals will not carry over to the semifinals and final. This means that should players avoid a red card in the semifinal, they will definitely be eligible for the final match.
In addition to potential suspension due to yellow cards, Bellingham’s recent indiscretion could also lead to a ban, adding an element of uncertainty to England’s title aspirations.
