Bellingham Walks Yellow-Card Tightrope vs Norway
Jude Bellingham is one booking away from a World Cup semi-final ban, while Harry Kane is in the clear ahead of England's quarter-final against Norway.
England face Norway in their World Cup quarter-final knowing that at least four players are carrying yellow-card risk, but none more critically than Jude Bellingham, according to Sky Sports.
Sky Sports' Dave Reed breaks down the suspension rules, confirming that Bellingham sits on a booking that would rule him out of a potential semi-final, while captain Harry Kane does not face the same danger.
For England, the stakes could hardly be higher. Bellingham has been central to their run to the last eight, and losing him to a precautionary card in the quarter-final would be a major blow should Gareth Southgate's successor guide the side through.
With the Norway clash looming, England's coaching staff will be weighing up just how much licence to give their most dynamic midfielder on the night.
