DUESSELDORF: Jude Bellingham has avoided an immediate ban after the England midfielder appeared to make an offensive gesture in his team’s win over Slovakia at Euro 2024.
Bellingham was available for England’s game against Switzerland yesterday for a place in the semi-finals after UEFA imposed a one-game ban but said it “is not immediately enforced and is subject to a probationary period” of a year.
