England were left sweating on suspensions after a flurry of yellow cards in the first half of their last-16 tie against Slovakia at Euro 2024.

Defender Marc Guehi will play no part in the quarter-finals should England advance, while Kobbie Mainoo and Jude Bellingham then joined him in the book.

Referee Umut Meler brought a strict approach to the last-16 tie, with a Slovakia player also shown a yellow card of the match in Gelsenkirchen as England made a poor start.
