Three Netherlands national team players - Crysencio Summerville, Memphis Depay and Micky van de Ven - will miss the final group match against Tunisia if they receive yellow cards in the second leg against Sweden.
Three players from the Netherlands national team are at risk of accumulating warnings in the second group match against Sweden on Saturday. If they receive a warning, they will not be able to play in the final group match against Tunisia. The players involved are Crysencio Summerville, Memphis Depay and Micky van de Ven, all of whom received yellow cards in the last match against Japan. In particular, Summerville was replaced by manager Ronald Koeman. As a result, the Dutch national team suffered the disappointment of losing victory over Japan in the last minute of the game. In these circumstances, these three players should avoid further yellow cards in the match against Sweden. If he receives a yellow card, he will not be able to play in the final group match against Tunisia. As with previous World Cups, two warnings automatically result in a ban on participation. However, according to the new regulations, all warnings will expire after the group stage ends. If Memphis, Summerville and Van de Ven get through the rest of the group without warning and the Dutch national team advances to the knockout stage, they could advance to the round of 16 with a clean record. Additionally, as the number of games increases, a rule is applied where warnings disappear even after the quarterfinals.
