"UEFA rules state that three yellow cards during the league phase trigger an automatic one-match suspension. The rules state: From the first match in the league phase, players and team officials are suspended for the next competition match after three cautions, that did not result in a red card, as well as after any subsequent odd-numbered caution (fifth, seventh, ninth, etc.)."
"The pair started in Wednesday's emphatic 4-0 away victory over Belgian champions Union Saint-Gilloise, a result that gave Eddie Howe's men their first European win on the road since 2013. Nick Woltemade opened the scoring in the 17th minute before Anthony Gordon netted twice from the penalty spot. Harvey Barnes came off the bench to add a fourth, wrapping up a statement performance."
"With six fixtures still to come against Paris Saint-Germain, Benfica, Athletic Bilbao, PSV Eindhoven, Bayer Leverkusen, and Marseille, Howe will be worried that his players could now face costly bans in crucial matches. Given the way the two Newcastle players prefer to play, it will be extremely difficult for them to avoid a booking in six street matches. It is fair to assume that they will be suspended eventually."
Joelinton and Dan Burn received yellow cards in both of Newcastle's opening two Champions League group matches and now sit one caution away from an automatic one-match suspension. Newcastle beat Union Saint-Gilloise 4-0 away, with Nick Woltemade, two penalties from Anthony Gordon, and a late Harvey Barnes strike securing the win. UEFA rules mandate suspension after three cautions in the league phase and after any subsequent odd-numbered caution. Six group fixtures remain against strong opponents, increasing the risk of further bookings. Their aggressive playing styles make avoiding another booking difficult, so suspension timing could be crucial.
