Four Leicester City Players Risk Suspension Against Brighton
Leicester City Quartet Must Avoid Bookings to Escape Suspension
Four Leicester City players must tread carefully against Brighton to avoid suspension.
Jamie Vardy and Boubakary Soumare joined Wilfred Ndidi and Jordan Ayew in accumulating four yellow cards this season after being booked during the win over West Ham.
A fifth yellow would trigger a one-match ban.
The quartet must steer clear of bookings not only against Brighton but also in the subsequent fixtures against Newcastle, Wolves, Liverpool, and Manchester City.
The clean-slate threshold arrives at the end of the year.
Leicester have already experienced one suspension this season, with Facundo Buonanotte missing the Chelsea match after collecting five yellow cards in his first 10 Premier League appearances.
With 37 yellow cards so far, Leicester have the fourth-highest tally in the league, behind Southampton, Chelsea, and Manchester United.
However, they remain among six clubs yet to receive a red card this campaign.
Manager Ruud van Nistelrooy will be particularly keen for Vardy, Ndidi, and Soumare to stay disciplined, given their importance as likely starters under his guidance.
Fortunately, Leicester boasts depth in these positions.
Harry Winks, Oli Skipp, and Hamza Choudhury offer midfield alternatives, while Patson Daka and Odsonne Edouard provide options in attack.
The team’s discipline will be vital as they navigate this challenging period without jeopardizing their lineup stability.
