Newcastle United team news v Fulham: Matthias Jaissle will be without at least three players on Saturday, with two more fitness doubts.
Newcastle United have several players at risk of suspension in the Premier League and one player set to serve a ban against Fulham this weekend.
Jacob Ramsey will miss the trip to Craven Cottage following his stoppage-time red card in the 1-0 defeat to Everton at St James’ Park on Monday night. As the sending off was a result of two yellow cards, Ramsey will be suspended for one match.
He is the first Newcastle player to be suspended so far this season and was also the last Newcastle player to be sent off having also received two bookings in the 2-1 win over Manchester United back in March.

Newcastle will be looking for a reaction to the Everton defeat against Fulham at Craven Cottage this weekend. Jaissle’s side have no other suspension concerns for the match, though Matias Fernandez-Pardo and Lewis Miley remain doubts after missing the last three matches.
Tino Livramento and Ewen Jaouen remain out due to respective knee and hamstring injuries.
Newcastle United yellow card suspension latest
Newcastle still have several players walking disciplinary tightropes in the Premier League due to accumulating yellow cards. As Ramsey picked up two yellow cards and was sent off, it only counts as a red card in the Premier League’s tally so his yellow card tally remains at one.
Premier League rules state that any player who accumulates five bookings inside the opening 19 Premier League matches must serve a one-match ban.
Jacob Murphy, Yoane Wissa and Nico Gonzalez have all been booked three times in the Premier League so far this season.
As a result, the trio will need to avoid picking up a further two bookings in Newcastle’s next 10 matches before the 19-game cut-off point or else they will face a one-match ban for accumulating five Premier League bookings.
Joelinton, Sven Botman and Fabian Schar have been booked twice in the Premier League while Dan Burn, Lewis Hall, Anthony Elanga, Lukas Hornicek, Tino Livramento, Lewis Miley, William Osula and Ramsey all have one booking each.
Any player who receives 10 bookings inside 32 games receives a two-match ban, a punishment handed out to Newcastle midfielder Joelinton last season.
After the 10-booking, 32-game threshold is passed, any player shown 15 bookings over the course of the season is handed a three-match ban. To date, no player has ever been cautioned that many times during a single Premier League campaign.
Bookings picked up in cup competitions do not transfer into the Premier League matches, but red card suspensions apply to all domestic fixtures.
