Due to their four yellow card accumulation this season, both players will miss one game if they receive another booking. Following the international break, Blackburn will play Sheffield Wednesday (A), Birmingham City (H), and Stoke City (A).

Rovers’ 19th game of the season, which takes place on December 2, will be the journey to Hillsborough. The five-card ban ends after the game, eliminating the possibility of a suspension for at least a few months.

This season, Szmodics has been a vital member of the Rovers team, leading the Championship charts with 10 goals. Jon Dahl Tomasson is going to be anxious to make sure he doesn’t overlook any league games.

Travis played effectively as a right-back when he returned to the team against Preston North End. By acting appropriately in the next games, the captain will also be aiming to avoid a ban.

The only Rovers player who has already received five cards and served a one-match suspension in the team’s victory over Norwich City is Hayden Carter. He then sustained an injury that kept him out of the match against North End, but he should be ready to play against Stoke.

Although Joe Rankin-Costello has received four yellow cards as well, he will not be banned due to his three-month absence due to a hamstring injury. This season, no other Blackburn player has more than two yellows.

A player will automatically be suspended for two matches if, after December 2, they acquire ten yellow cards, up until and including the 37th league game of the season. A three-match suspension is imposed if a player receives 15 yellow cards before the last regular season game.

The season has only seen eight bookings for Jannik Vestergaard, who now has 21 games left to negotiate to avoid a two-game suspension. Two of the Championship’s tough-tacklers, Ben Pearson and Sam Morsy, are also on seven.

Harry Pickering is the only player with a perfect record of red cards received. That was in response to his challenge on Liam Delap, which brought down the Hull City player and obstructed a clear chance to score.

The exact reason Scott Wharton was sent off against Norwich was, of course, reversed on appeal.

This season, no player in the Championship has received more than one red card. Jack Colback, a midfielder with Queens Park Rangers, is the player with the most yellow and red card accumulation.

The only Rovers player to start every Championship game this year is Szmodics. Prior to receiving his ban against Norwich, Carter had also been able to accomplish that.

Picking and Dom Hyam have each started 13 games, while Callum Brittain (1,189) has started 12 games but has played the third-most minutes overall, behind Szmodics (1,394) and Carter (1,260).
