Overview
- City’s summer signing has four Premier League yellow cards, leaving him one from an automatic ban under the five‑bookings‑in‑19‑matches rule.
- Most cautions have been for dissent, with one for time‑wasting, and his latest booking came in the 3-2 win over Leeds.
- Pep Guardiola said he will not warn Donnarumma, calling him “adult enough” to adapt, and confirmed James Trafford would start if a suspension arrives.
- Bernardo Silva is also on four yellows, so both players must avoid another booking across the next six league games before the threshold rises to ten after New Year’s Day.
- A stoppage during the Leeds match, after Donnarumma went down for treatment, sharpened scrutiny of goalkeeper exemptions as football authorities weigh potential rule changes to curb tactical use of such breaks.
