A full week of Premier League matches begins on December 26, meaning Clubs will need to train and/or travel at Christmas.

However, that is not the case for a few uninjured who received a yellow card in this weekend's Week 17 matches.

Any player who accumulates five cautions within the first 19 games of the Premier League season will be suspended for one match.

And four players reached that threshold just before Christmas.

Lucas Paqueta of West Ham, Sam Morsy of Ipswich, Nottingham ForestNicolás Domínguez and Everton's ashley young They are out.

Paqueta received his fifth yellow card of the season during the 1-1 draw against Brighton, while Morsy was booked against Newcastle.

Domínguez came off the bench and received a yellow card. Brentford before Young received a yellow card as Everton kept Chelsea out.

All those Premier League stars will not appear on Boxing Day, but will return for the final matches of 2024.

His next milestone that justifies a suspension is 10 yellow cards.

But there are still a large number of players who are on the verge of a five-card suspension…

A whopping 45 top-flight players could be suspended for their final match of the year if they are booked on Boxing Day.

This includes Rayan Ait-Nouri, who served a suspension at GW17 for his Post-match sending off in Wolves' 2-1 defeat to Ipswich.

Since he received a red card, neither of his two yellow cards counted towards the yellow card ban threshold, so he still has four in total.

Cole Palmer and Bukayo Saka are safe with three yellow cards, but both England stars have Chelsea and Arsenal teammates in four.

blues duo Nicholas Jackson and Robert Sánchez are just one caution away from being sanctioned, just like Arsenal Gabriel Jesus and Jurrien Timber.

League leaders Liverpool They are also sweating over possible absences, which may lead them to be very careful with Ibrahima Konate.

Ryan Gravenberg He has been one of the outstanding midfielders this season, but equally, he, Dominik Szoboszlai and Darwin Núñez also have four yellow cards.

Harry Maguire and Manuel Ugarte are also at risk of a year-end suspension for Man United, while Brentford and Fulham They have nothing to worry about as they have no players on the brink.

Below are the players who will spend Boxing Day at home and all those who are out of the ban.

When does the ban on yellow cards end?

The threshold for a yellow card penalty is reset to the midpoint of the first division season.

That means that after GW19, receiving a fifth booking of the campaign would not result in a suspension.

Instead, players are sanctioned when they reach 10 yellow cards.

The last game of GW19 will be on January 1, 2025.

So if a player avoids a fifth caution before then, he will no longer be on the brink of a suspension.

There will then be a threshold of 10 cards up to GW33, and if a player reaches that limit they will be suspended for two games.
