World Cup 2026 yellow card watch: Players at risk of semi-final suspensionA total of 19 players are carrying a yellow card into the World Cup quarter-finals.

>This means that any of these players will be suspended for a potential semi-final if they are booked again in the upcoming round.

>Among the notable players on a yellow card are Morocco captain Achraf Hakimi, France and Bayern Munich forward Michael Olise, Norway and RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa and England midfielder Jude Bellingham.

>Yellow cards picked up before the knockout stages were wiped before the round of 32, and bookings will be reset again after the quarter-finals.

>England's Jarell Quansah was the only player sent off in the round of 16, receiving his marching orders against Mexico, and the Bayer Leverkusen defender will therefore miss his side's quarter-final against Norway.
