This will result in the banning of the £53 million Newcastle United triumvirate at St James’ Park if it occurs during the match against Brighton.

The Football Association’s regulations will prohibit the expenditure of £53 million If this occurs against Brighton at St James’ Park, Newcastle United will field a trio.

Newcastle is attempting to advance to the FA Cup quarterfinals for the second consecutive season by hosting Brighton at St James’ Park (1:45pm kick-off). Last month, the Magpies defeated Birmingham City 3-2 in the fourth round of the competition, with a brace from Joe Willock and a return goal from Callum Wilson.

However, Willock is one of the players who is at risk of an FA Cup suspension for Newcastle, as he was booked in the previous round at St Andrew’s. The match also resulted in the booking of Dan Burn and Will Osula. According to FA regulations, players from any club that enters the competition from the third round

will be subject to a one-match suspension in the FA Cup if they accumulate two bookings prior to the semi-final stage. The regulations are comparable in the Carabao Cup, as Newcastle experienced Sean Longstaff’s absence from the quarter-final victory over Brentford and Bruno Guimaraes and Fabian Schar’s suspensions for the first leg of the semi-final against Arsenal.

Additionally, after the quarter-final encounters conclude, any player who accumulates two bookings in the competition will be prohibited from participating in the semi-final at Wembley Stadium. Joe Willock, Dan Burn, and Will Osula are at risk of suspension. Despite their limited impact in the league,

Osula and Willock have played significant roles in Newcastle’s FA Cup progress this season. Burn has been a critical asset to The Magpies in all competitions this season. Red card suspensions are transferable to other competitions, while yellow card suspensions are not. Therefore, any Newcastle player who receives a straight red card and is subsequently issued a three-match

suspension will be unable to participate in the upcoming Premier League match against West Ham United and the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool. Newcastle’s victory over Brighton would determine the player’s third missed match. In the event that The Magpies advance, any player who receives a red card will be prohibited from participating in the quarter-final match.

They will be permitted to return for the Premier League match against Brentford next month. The suspended player would be prohibited from participating in the Brentford game before returning to action at Leicester City on April 7, provided that Newcastle were to be eliminated.
