Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has promised to address Cheick Tiote's poor disciplinary record after his latest dismissal.
Tiote was sent off after 25 minutes against bitter rivals Sunderlandat the Stadium of Light on Sunday for a high tackle on Steven Fletcher.
The Magpies midfielder has now collected 29 bookings and two red cards since arriving at the club in August 2010.
Although Tiote will be available to play against Club Brugge in Thursday's Europa League clash, he will miss the next three domestic games through suspension.
Pardew said: "I do have some worries about his discipline. I will be talking to him before the Brugge game.
"We talk to him before every game. We talk to him at every half-time. It's not a laughing matter because he's one of our big players and I can't have him not playing.
"It could be costly and he needs to understand that."
