At the 2024 European Football Championship held in Germany, the National Team finished its group in second place and managed to make it to the last 16. The crescent-star team was paired with Austria, who finished Group D as the leader, and the match will be played on July 2.
However, a difficult process is beginning for Türkiye. Captain Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Samet Akaydin, who are on the yellow card penalty limit, will not be able to play in the Austria match. The fact that many players received yellow cards in the Czech Republic match and reached the penalty limit worried the technical team.
Here are the national football players who are on the verge of yellow card penalties:
- Mert Gunok
- Ugurcan Cakir
- Zeki Celik
- Mert Muldur
- Salih Ozcan
- Ismail Yuksek
- Arda Guler
- Kenan Yildiz
- Orkun Kökçü
- Kaan Ayhan
Since yellow cards will be erased in the later stages of the tournament, the penalty limit will be lifted after the quarter-finals and players will not be suspended. Our national team’s performance and discipline against Austria is of great importance.
