The gesture was made after the match against Slovakia. He will not miss the quarter-final against Switzerland. Gareth Southgate and England can breathe a sigh of relief.
UEFA announced on Friday that Jude Bellingham had been sanctioned for the controversial gesture he made during the match against Slovakia in the last 16 of Euro-2024. The Real Madrid midfielder received a one-match suspension, suspended for one year.
He was also fined €30,000 by European football’s governing body.
As a result, Bellingham will be able to play against Switzerland in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024. The midfielder has been a key part of Southgate’s side, starting the last four matches and scoring two goals.
