      When do yellow cards reset at Euro 2024 and can players miss the final?

      by

      EURO 2024 is into the semi-final stage but a couple of top stars are set to miss out on Tuesday and Wednesday night.That’s because they picked up too many yellow card offences and are now banned from playing.Dani Carvajal will miss the Euro 2024 semis after a late second yellow in the win against GermanyCredit: PAHowever, a quirk in the rule book means that NO players will miss the final if they are booked in previous rounds.Yellow cards are inevitable in every major competition and Dani Carvajal will miss the Euro 2024 after what fans called a “genius” second yellow in the quarter-final win over Germany.When do yellow cards reset at Euro 2024?No players will miss the final because of a yellow card they pick up in the semi or earlier in the tournament.Bookings that took place in earlier rounds of Euro 2024 have now been WIPED CLEAN. Read More on FootballThat means a player who had been at risk of missing the semi-final – Harry Kane, for example – will NOT be banned from playing in the final if he earns another yellow card.However, players such as Robin Le Normand will miss Spain’s semi-final with France having accumulated too many yellows in earlier rounds. Players CAN still miss the final through a suspension, but only if they receive a red card during the semi.Uefa’s Article 54 states: “Cautions that have not resulted in a suspension expire on completion of the qualifying group stage. They are not carried forward to the play-offs nor the final tournament.Most read in Football”Cautions from the play-off matches that have not resulted in a suspension expire on completion of the play-offs. They are not carried forward to the final tournament.”Pending yellow-card suspensions from either the group stage or the play-offs expire on completion of the qualifying competition.
