The new ruling will affect 107 players from the remaining 12 competing nations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

FIFA has confirmed that yellow cards will be wiped clean in the European play-offs for the 2022 World Cup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The judgement now means no player will be suspended for one of the three play-off finals on 29 March for receiving a yellow card in the semi-final stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wales manager Rob Page had called for the changes to the law. In November last year, he said: “It is what it is, but if we can influence a change, we absolutely will.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven Wales players were one booking away from possible suspension: notably Aaron Ramsey, Joe Allen and Kieffer Moore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the rule change, players who have already collected two cautions in the group stage and not yet served a ban will still be suspended for the semi-final. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore Wales will be without Joe Morrell who picked up bookings against Belgium and Estonia in qualifying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rob Page’s side host Austria in the World Cup play-off semi-final on Thursday, 24 March 2022 at the Cardiff City Stadium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wales are seeking to reach their first World Cup in 64 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
