Read our privacy policy Jude Bellingham faces a possible ban at Euro 2024 after Uefa opened an investigation into a gesture he made while celebrating the spectacular overhead kick scored against Slovakia in their last-16 tie on Sunday. “Uefa … will conduct a disciplinary investigation regarding a potential violation of the basic rules of decent conduct by the English Football Association player, Jude Bellingham, having allegedly occurred in the scope of this match,” the governing body said in a statement. He also scored England’s lone goal in the group stage, in the opening 1-0 win over Serbia, though his performances at Euro 2024 have largely failed to meet expectations. While Bellingham has not been at his best during the competition, looking sluggish and fatigued at times in the opening four games, he has provided two of England’s highlights, scoring their opening goal against Serbia before this crucial late strike to deny Slovakia a famous win.
