Two Sheffield Wednesday players are now only one yellow card away from being suspended for one game.
It was well-publicised earlier in the month that Di’Shon Bernard was on the brink of missing a game after picking up his fourth booking, although he managed to escape being issued another in the games against Norwich City and Sheffield United. He is so still eligible to play this next Saturday against Cardiff City.
However, defender Yan Valery was one player who failed to avoid being booked. He was given a yellow card during the second half of the Blades’ 1-0 victory at Bramall Lane, placing him in the same situation as Bernard. That might change for a few weeks now.
Bernard or Valery will have to sit on the sidelines for a game if they incur another five-card suspension before the deadline of 19 games, which is the Owls’ encounter against Preston North End on December 7. There are currently only two more potential concerns: Shea Charles and Barry Bannan, who are both on three.
Given that Danny Röhl didn’t feel the need to leave his Jamaican international out of the Norwich City game even with United on the horizon, it’s unlikely that he’s going to start worrying about leaving anybody out in order to try and avoid a suspension, however he would no doubt prefer it if neither of them had to deal with any sort of ban at all.
