Okay Yokuslu received a booking for West Brom during their 2-0 victory over Coventry City on October 30, which puts him one yellow card away from a one-match suspension, as reported by Birmingham Live.
The Baggies midfielder is already on four yellow cards, which is the maximum number allowed by the championship. A fifth card carries a one-match suspension.

Yokuslu can avoid this punishment if he receives no further yellow cards by the season’s 19th game, when the score is reset. However, he will have to miss his next five games without a booking.
If the midfielder receives another caution, he will add his name to a growing list of prominent players who are unavailable for selection, including Jeremy Sarmiento, Josh Maja, John Swift, and Daryl Dike. These players are all sidelined due to injuries.
With the team already reduced to its skeleton, Carlos Corberan will be eager to keep every player available, so the impending prospect of suspension will be a cause of annoyance.
Yokuslu’s midfield presence at The Hawthorns has been crucial so far this season. Corberan’s team has benefited greatly from his ability to disrupt play and then maintain possession of the ball.
Sadly, the Turkish midfielder’s aggressive style of play when he sweeps up in midfield might lead to a good number of yellow cards. This has created a fresh suspension threat, which he will have to work hard to avoid in the upcoming games.
The one bright spot in this situation is that West Brom’s center of midfield is their strongest position, with players like Jayson Molumby and Nathaniel Chalobah ready to step in if needed in the upcoming weeks.
