Sad News for west Brom as championship official ban key star after sad incident against Leicester City….

Okay Yokuslu, the midfield player for West Brom, was cautioned in the team’s 2-1 loss to Leicester City, therefore Carlos Corberan will have to make do without him in the match against Sunderland next weekend.

After tripping opponent Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in the 74th minute of Saturday’s Championship match, Yokuslu was placed in the book by the referee.

The Turkey international was automatically suspended for one game when Albion visits the Stadium of Light on December 9th, as it was his fifth booking in the league this season.

It is a big blow for Corberan as Yokuslu has started 17 of West Brom’s 19 Championship games this season, while featuring from the substitutes’ bench in the other two matches.

While Corberan may be frustrated with the 29-year-old’s disciplinary record this term – he has already matched his yellow card tally from the whole of last season – this latest caution was harsh to say the least.

Indeed, even Andy Hinchcliffe questioned referee Tim Robinson’s decision during

Yokuslu maybe clips the heels of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. It’s harsh to book him for that,” former Manchester City and Everton defender Hinchcliffe said.

Lewis Cox called one of the referee’s odd decisions a “shocker” during the Express & Star’s live coverage of the game on December 2 at 14:04. The referee made a number of odd calls.

Corberan has one week to come up with some ideas to fill the midfield void before the match against Sunderland, after Matt Philips also hobbled off against Leicester.

It is unfortunate that Yokuslu is out, but at least he can recuperate before a demanding schedule that extends until December.
