Tottenham’s Nigerian-born left-back Due to card accumulation, Destiny Udogie could receive a one-match suspension from the Premier League.
The 21-year-old has already received four yellow cards; if he receives one more, the rules stipulate that he will be suspended.
According to Premier League regulations, a player will miss one match if they are given five yellow cards in the first 19 games of the season.
Udogie has already played 14 games; in order to avoid the aforementioned punishment, he must avoid receiving a caution in the remaining five games.
The defender, who was born in Italy, had previously served a one-match suspension following his red card in Tottenham’s matchday 11 loss to Chelsea.
He had a fantastic start to the season, but in recent weeks, especially after recovering from a muscular injury last month, it appears that he has lost his way.
He has continued to play for the team, but he hasn’t been able to live up to the high standards that won him a lot of praise at the beginning of the campaign.
This season, he has participated in 12 Premier League games, all of which he has started.

Thursday’s London derby between Tottenham and West Ham and Newcastle’s visit to Everton
Gameweek 15 kicks off with some incredibly juicy-looking fixtures, barely two days after a weekend full of contenders for goal of the season, more frustrating referee calls, and twists and turns at both ends of the Premier League table.
38 goals were scored in the ten games that made up Gameweek 14. Six of those goals came at the Etihad as Tottenham earned a late point against reigning champions Manchester City, and seven of those goals came at Anfield as Liverpool defeated Fulham in a thrilling match.

The first match of the schedule takes place at Molineux, where a Wolves team that has lost three of their previous four Premier League games will be hoping for a better result when Burnley pays a visit. The Clarets crushed Sheffield United 5-0 on Saturday to snap their own dismal run of play, but Gary O’Neil’s Wanderers will pose far tougher opposition.
Just in time for the holidays, Arsenal has been playing well; their most recent victory over Wolves is their fifth straight across all competitions. Luton Town should not be able to contain the attacking quality of Mikel Arteta’s team, despite the fact that the Hatters have already put Tottenham and Liverpool to sleep at Kenilworth Road this season.
On Wednesday, two idealistic teams from Brighton and Brentford will play each other. Fans were treated to a thrilling 3-3 draw in the 2022–2023 match, and since Seagulls fans have yet to witness their team record a league clean sheet, there should be an equal amount of excitement here at the AMEX.
The Crystal Palace team contributed to a terrible 1-1 draw with West Ham on Sunday, but Roy Hodgson’s team may face stiff opposition from Bournemouth, who are on a three-game winning streak and six points above the drop zone.
In the last three games, Fulham has scored four goals or more in each of them. Despite taking a 3-2 lead in the 80th minute against Liverpool, the Cottagers were unable to hold on, but they could defeat Nottingham Forest—who were defeated at home by Everton last time out—if they put on an identical attacking display.
Paul Heckingbottom became the first manager to go this season after Burnley, another promoted team, humiliated Sheffield United. Liverpool, who came from behind to steal all three points against Fulham, produced an incredible array of goals, so the Blades could have done without a matchup with them.
Manchester City dropped to third place after missing opportunities and receiving dubious officiating. The champions will face a challenging opponent in Aston Villa. This season, Unai Emery’s team has won all six of their league games at Villa Park, and on Wednesday night, they could cause Pep Guardiola and company even more annoyance.
When Manchester United and Chelsea play at Old Trafford, all kinds of mayhem may break out. The Red Devils lost 1-0 to Newcastle on the road, putting on another lackluster performance; however, the Blues overcame Conor Gallagher’s red card just before halftime to defeat Brighton 3-2.
Newcastle continues to put on strong shows in spite of their long list of injuries; Nick Pope is the most recent casualty. Even though their playing roster is extremely thin, the Magpies are strong favorites to defeat Everton on Thursday; had it not been for their recent point penalty, Everton would be in 12th place.
A London derby between Tottenham and West Ham will wrap up the action. Spurs’ late 3-3 draw with Man City was a fitting reward for their efforts, but they haven’t won since late October. Ange Postecoglou will try to alter that by handing the Hammers their first loss since early November.
