Explained in plain English

What happens after a red card?

When a player like Michael Olise receives a red card, they are immediately sent off the pitch and cannot continue playing. Their team must play the remainder of the match with one fewer player, which is a significant disadvantage. The player also typically faces a suspension from future matches, with the length depending on the severity of the foul.
