Tottenham attacker Brennan Johnson will miss Wales’ upcoming Nations League clash against Montenegro after receiving a yellow card during their recent match against Iceland, reports the Mirror.
Johnson, who has been in red-hot form for Spurs, has netted six goals in six consecutive matches before the international break.
Brennan Johnson suspended for Wales’ next game
In the fixture against Iceland, Johnson continued his stellar form by scoring Wales’ opening goal in the 11th minute, marking seven goals in seven games. However, his yellow card now rules him out of the next match for Wales, dealing a blow to the team.
Despite the setback for Wales, this break could prove beneficial for Tottenham. Johnson’s suspension provides him with an opportunity to rest before Spurs’ critical Premier League match against West Ham following the international break.

Since joining Tottenham in September 2023 for a fee of £47.5 million from Nottingham Forest, the 23-year-old winger has made a significant impact. His debut in a 2-1 victory over Sheffield United set the tone for a successful campaign. Johnson finished the season with five goals and ten assists, tying for the highest number of assists at the club. (Transfermarkt)
Johnson faced heavy criticism and online abuse after the game against Arsenal last month, but he silenced doubters with his recent goalscoring streak. His resurgence has been widely praised, with former Spurs goalkeeper Paul Robinson declaring him the team’s best player.
Johnson’s performances have been vital in Tottenham’s pursuit of climbing the Premier League table, and fans will be looking forward to seeing him continue his excellent form once he returns to action after the break.
