[Albion] Injuries 2024/25

For totting up 10 yellow cards.

He also missed our match in December, for totting up 5 yellow cards...

Just a question….if in the first half of the season a player goes into a match with three bookings and gets two yellows (a red) do either of those bookings count in the totting-up process? Logically I assume they can’t as it’d be a case of double jeopardy. Would it be any different going into a game with 4 yellows?

If a player is cautioned twice in a match (and therefore gets sent off) neither caution counts in the totting up process.

It is possible, of course, to be shown a yellow card for an offence and then be shown a straight red card for a different offence in the same match. In those circumstances I think the caution still stands and would count in the totting up process.

Just checked our yellow card stats, and Minteh has the most at 6.

You are correct about being shown a yellow and then a straight red. Both count towards the card count for the season. It’s what happened to Lewis Dunk when he was sent off against Forest.

It’s also worth remembering there are separate totting up process for each competition and yellow cards only count in the competition they are awarded in. So yellow cards in the FA Cup don’t count towards the totting up process in the Premier League etc. Red cards do carry across through all domestic first team football no matter what competition they are awarded in (there is another separate disciplinary process for European competitions).

To be fair Iwobi gave us the most grief in December. We made him look like a world beater.

Ahem

Igor's Instagram this morning. He's currently on holiday in Brazil, and has put up pics / videos of him doing gym work - but from this ("getting closer and closer") I wonder if he'll be back training soon.

More than a holiday according to this article.
Actually gone for treatment over there

With no bookings yesterday, only Minteh can end up with a two game ban if he gets booked in each of the next four games.

Good good - we’ve avoided at one then. I guess dunk missing a lot of games has helped!
