What club isn't providing punishment for player? (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

red card

This clue is a double definition.

'what club isn't providing' is the first definition.
(clubs are black playing cards)

'punishment for player?' is the second definition.
(eg in football)

(Other definitions for red card that I've seen before include "Sending off" , "Queen of Hearts, for example" , "heart?" , "Signal for a serious rule infringement" , "Football punishment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
