Netherlands Nations League yellow card suspension risk, Digi Mart USA News: The Netherlands begins its final two group matches in the Nations League next week, and several players will have to be careful about their disciplinary records. Six Oranje internationals are on the brink of a suspension.
Quinten Timber, Jan Paul van Hecke, Virgil van Dijk, Jurriën Timber, Noa Lang and Tijjani Reijnders could all face a ban if they are booked against Greece. Quinten Timber, Van Hecke and Van Dijk already received yellow cards in the first match against Germany.
Jurriën Timber and Reijnders were booked against Serbia, while Lang picked up a yellow card against Greece.
Any player who receives a yellow card in the Greece match would be suspended for the final group match against Germany. Under Nations League rules, a player is suspended after a second yellow card, and the next suspension follows at four yellow cards, then six, eight, and so on.
The accumulated cards are not wiped clean after the group stage. They are only cleared once the quarterfinals have been played.
