A straight red card (as opposed to two yellows in the same game which also makes a red) usually means a 3 match ban. That means we'll probably not see him again this tournament.

Yellows also accumulate. Two yellows in the first 4 matches means a one match ban. Some good players usually miss a crucial game later on in the tournament because of it.
