Three Newcastle United players facing Champions League ban after UEFA rule issue
- On Wednesday, Newcastle United face a potential suspension risk as Joelinton, Malick Thiaw and Dan Burn each have two yellow cards and are one yellow away from a Champions League ban.
- Under UEFA rules, the three-yellow card threshold carries forward to the quarter-final stage, and three yellow cards before then trigger an automatic one-match ban; Article 63.01 states a red card also brings a one-match suspension.
- Thiaw was booked against Benfica and Bayer Leverkusen, while Burn received cautions at home to Barcelona and in Marseille, with Joelinton poised to return after missing six matches.
- The club will have to manage absences from injured players and navigate four matches in the two-legged play-off and possible Round of 16 to avoid suspensions.
- A marginal VAR decision shows how a potential red was downgraded to a free-kick, avoiding a suspension under Article 63.01, while the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body can augment punishments for serious offences.
