Jude Bellingham, who made an obscene gesture during the match against Slovakia (2-1 aet), could be sanctioned by UEFA.
He was the hero of a completely lifeless team at the end of injury time on Sunday. Author of a fantastic acrobatic overhead kick to allow England to equalize against Slovakia, before Harry Kane’s decisive goal (2-1), Jude Bellingham also showed his bad side during this match.
The Real Madrid attacking midfielder was in fact the author of an obscene gesture after scoring his goal. “A gesture of internal joke towards close friends who were present at the game. Nothing but respect for the way the Slovak team played tonight,”
he said on the social network X. Insufficient explanations in the eyes of UEFA.
What penalty does Bellingham face?
The body has in fact opened proceedings against Jude Bellingham after this embarrassing sequence. According to information from The Athletic, the English international risks a sanction. UEFA regulations specify that any “obscene, offensive or insulting gesture” is liable to a red card.
Jude Bellingham could thus be suspended for at least one match if UEFA gives him a red card. The midfielder would therefore miss the quarter-final against Switzerland. England, who have very few certainties in their game, did not need that.
