Bellingham Faces Ban Over Gesture During England vs Switzerland Quarter-final Match

England midfielder, Jude Bellingham may be banned for his country’s next match.

The star could be punished by UEFA over his X-rated gesture during their 2-1 win over Slovakia at Euro 2024 on Sunday.

Bellingham scored an acrobatic effort to make it 1-1 in the 95th minute to take the game to extra time.

Seconds into extra time, Harry Kane headed in the winner, to seal their progress into the quarter-final.

After the game, Bellingham was spotted making a gesture with his hands towards his groin as he looked in the direction of the two dugouts.

The 20-year-old has been accused of provoking the Slovakian coaching team and substitutes, but he insists the gesture was aimed at a group of friends sitting in the stands.

Bellingham wrote on X: “An inside joke gesture towards some close friends who were at the game. Nothing but respect for how that Slovakia team played tonight.”

UEFA are currently awaiting the report from the match official and will review it carefully before deciding whether or not action will be taken.
