Jude Bellingham will be allowed to play for England in its crucial match against Switzerland – and the rest of the Euro 2024 tournament – despite a controversial goal celebration.
The England star has been fined, and given a one match ban – but that is “subject to a probationary period of one year, starting from the date of the present decision”.
This means the ban would only apply if there is a further incident in the next year.
He has been fined a total of €30,000.
Bellingham was investigated over a gesture he made in England’s game against Slovakia – after he scored an equaliser in injury time to keep Euro 2024 hopes alive.
The Real Madrid star posted on X about the gesture in the hours after the match, describing his act as an “inside joke”.
“An inside joke gesture towards some close friends who were at the game,” he said. “Nothing but respect for how that Slovakia team played tonight.”
