As per Premier League rules, reaching five cautions before matchday 20 – which is currently away to Liverpool on December 30 – results in an automatic one-match suspension.
Gordon was booked in wins over Aston Villa and Brentford, plus defeats to Manchester City and Brighton & Hove Albion. He avoided cautions versus Liverpool and Sheffield United before facing Burnley.
“Of course it’s a concern, yeah,” said Howe when asked about Gordon’s disciplinary situation. “Injuries in one position will hurt us this year. We’ve been missing two midfielders and that’s been a concern for us. Losing Harvey won’t be something we’ll take lightly.
“The suspensions are something we’re going to have to live with to a degree with the new rules that are coming in. A couple of Anthony’s bookings have been very harsh. That’s the territory we’re in but that’s why we have the squad that we have to cover anyone’s absence.”
