Sandro Tonali is at risk of a Premier League ban for Newcastle United after being shown his fourth booking of the season against Liverpool.
Tonali was shown a yellow card in the 58th minute of the 3-3 draw with Liverpool at St James’ Park for a foul on Curtis Jones. It means the Italian is just one more yellow card away from a one-match ban.
Premier League rules state that any player shown five bookings in the first 19 games of the Premier League season must serve a one-match ban.
Schar, Joelinton and Tonali must avoid any further bookings in the Premier League until matchday 20 in order to avoid suspension. Having served his ban, Burn must avoid reaching 10 yellow cards inside 32 games or else he will be suspended for two matches.
Should Tonali, Joelinton or Schar be booked against Brentford on Saturday, they will miss Newcastle’s following Premier League match against Leicester City at St James’ Park the following week.
