I feel like, just as with the Curtis Jones tackle, this idea he was lucky not to be seriously injured is just an imagined outcome. He wasn’t injured because there was no force in the tackle, which is why it shouldn’t be a red.
The judgement is “this endangered an opponent”, except we know for a fact it didn’t endanger him because he was fine, just like Bissouma was. If you are judging outcomes, you need to judge actual outcomes. And if you are judging imagined outcomes, then you need to go back to considering force, intent, reasonable expectations, etc. By which measures both this and the Jones one are never red cards.
