Super Eagles stars Ndidi and Bassey on the verge of a ban, Premier League confirms
Published: December 02, 2024
Through a statement on the official website, the Premier League has confirmed that Nigeria internationals Calvin Bassey and Wilfred Ndidi are nearing a suspension.
The Fulham centre-back and Leicester City midfielder are among twenty-seven players on four yellow cards, just one booking away from a suspension.
Players who receive a total of five yellow cards in their first 19 matches will be given a one-match suspension, and the yellow cards are not carried over to the Carabao Cup or FA Cup.
Bassey must be careful not to receive a booking in the next six matches in the English top flight, and the same applies to Ndidi, who is also walking a disciplinary tightrope.
Their next yellow card before matchday 20 would force them to serve an automatic one-match ban.
Bassey picked up yellow cards in matches against Manchester United, Manchester City, Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers, while Ndidi was cautioned against Crystal Palace, Arsenal, Bournemouth and Chelsea.
The Leicester City man was lucky to escape a red card during the Foxes' last home match against Chelsea, after he went in hard on Cole Palmer.
A two-game suspension will follow if a player accumulates ten yellow cards in their first thirty-two Premier League appearances.
