Pompey trio along Derby County and Stoke City men with in danger of ban as EFL rule explained
Three Pompey players will have to be careful as they are at risk of earning a two match ban through the EFL Championship’s disciplinary rules.
The FA’s disciplinary rules state that any player who accumulates 10 yellow cards before game-week 37 must serve a two-game ban. This comes after players who have picked up five games before the first 19 league matches of the season have served a one game. If a player was to accumulate 15 yellows before the last day of the season prior to the play-offs will result in a three game ban which would be carried over in to the next season.
To date, Pompey have played 33 games this season and so they have four games to get through to avoid picking up a booking or two. Several of their players such as Paddy Lane, Jacob Farrell and Ibane Bowat have suffered injuries that have curtailed their campaigns and so Pompey won’t want to lose any more of their players due to a suspension.
