England

are gearing up for their mammoth

World Cup

semi-final

showdown with Argentina

this evening.

Victory over their arch rivals

in Atlanta would leave England just one game away from claiming their first trophy since famously winning the World Cup on home soil in 1966.

In the event England win this evening, they would head to New Jersey to play Spain in Sunday’s World Cup final.

But are any England players at risk of being suspended for the final if the Three Lions get there?

Yellow cards were wiped after the end of the quarter-final stage.

This means that no England player will miss the World Cup final should they get booked this evening and the team wins.

Only a red card in tonight’s game will rule a player out of featuring in the final – undoubtedly the biggest match of any player’s career.

Four England stars headed into the Norway clash with the threat of being suspended for the semi-finals, given the yellow card amnesty had not come into effect at that point.

Jude Bellingham

was booked in the win over DR Congo but managed to avoid a repeat offence against Mexico and Norway.

Declan Rice

, meanwhile, was booked after barely a minute had been played against Mexico in the Round of 16, with

Marc Guehi

and

Nico O’Reilly

joining him in the referee’s notebook in the second half.

All four, however, now have peace of mind that a booking tonight will not rule them out of Sunday’s showpiece.

Jarrel Quansah, who was sent off against Mexico, is the only England player who is suspended for the Argentina game.
