Jude Bellingham has been hit with a UEFA suspension following his actions in the aftermath of his goal against Slovakia. However, the Real Madrid man is free to play in the Euro 2024 quarter-final against Switzerland, with the ban suspended for one year.
He has also been fined more than £25,000, while the English FA have also been hit with financial sanctions.
That follows the authority being charged over two counts of fan behaviour in Gelsenkirchen, after fans allegedly lit fireworks and caused crowd disturbances.
In a released statement, UEFA said it’s control, ethics and disciplinary body had taken the decision to “fine the English Football Association player Jude Bellingham €30,000 (£25,300) and to suspend him for a total of one UEFA competition match for which he would be otherwise eligible for violating the basic rules of decent conduct.”
They added: “Said suspension is not immediately enforced and is subject to a probationary period of one year, starting from the date of the present decision.”
