Club World Cup suspension rules explained with Chelsea FC and Real Madrid stars at risk of semi-final ban

Players receive a one-game ban after picking up two bookings.

Moises Caicedo and Jobe Bellingham have already fallen victim to the rule, earning suspensions for their respective quarter-final matches after collecting two bookings in earlier rounds.
