Liverpool face a potential double suspension blow as Dominik Szoboszlai and Conor Bradley sit just one yellow card away from a one-match ban. The pair have each accumulated four bookings in the Premier League this season, meaning a fifth caution would trigger an automatic suspension under the league's disciplinary rules.
Players who collect five yellow cards in the first 19 Premier League matches receive a one-game ban. Liverpool's upcoming fixture against Nottingham Forest on Saturday marks the start of a crucial run-in before the threshold resets after the match against Leeds United on New Year's Day.
If either Szoboszlai or Bradley is booked against Forest, they will miss the clash with West Ham United on November 30. This would be a concern for manager Arne Slot, given both have operated at right-back this season and Jeremie Frimpong is sidelined through injury.
Summer signing Milos Kerkez is also at risk on three yellow cards, while Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch, and Ibrahima Konate sit on two. The Reds have received 23 bookings in 11 league matches, the joint-fourth worst record in the division, though no player has been sent off.
