Jay Stansfield is the latest Birmingham City player walking the disciplinary tightrope.
Juninho Bacuna served a one-match ban against Southampton two weeks ago for accumulating five yellow cards, and Krystian Bielik missed the match at Sunderland. And star striker Stansfield - who is Blues' top scorer with five goals - is now in danger of suspension.
The 20-year-old has tallied four yellow cards to date in matches with Watford, QPR, Huddersfield and Southampton. Stansfield avoided a booking in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Sunderland, meaning he is available for the clash against Sheffield Wednesday after the international break.
Blues manager Wayne Rooney will be hoping Stansfield can avoid another booking until after the amnesty on December 2. The first yellow card amnesty of the season, which means players will no longer receive a ban for five bookings, comes into force after the 19th game.
Blues still have to play Wednesday, Blackburn Rovers and Rotherham before it kicks in. In order to avoid a ban, Stansfield must not receive a yellow card in any of those matches.
"You can't go into a game worrying about what happens if you get a yellow card," said Rooney. "You have to give everything on the pitch and sometimes that means you get yellow cards. If a player gets suspended you miss them for that game, or three games, but I won't be asking them to not go in for tackles. If he gets a booking he gets a booking. We have got players who are more than capable of coming in."
There are other Blues players who are in danger of incurring a suspension. Croatian midfielder Ivan Sunjic, who has started four of Rooney's five games in charge, is currently on three bookings. Kevin Long and Manny Longelo have also been booked three times.
