Erling Haaland, Neymar, two Chelsea stars and FIVE Liverpool players are all one booking away from a ban, and face missing Champions League semi-final first leg if their clubs get through

Erling Haaland and Neymar head the list of high-profile players who could miss their side's Champions League semi-final first leg should they progress this week.

UEFA rules dictate that from the first match in the group stage, players and team officials are suspended for the next competition match after three cautions.

Norwegian striker Haaland was booked in both legs of Borussia Dortmund's last-16 tie against Sevilla, including one caution for unsportsmanlike behaviour after celebrating in goalkeeper Bono's face.
