Jude Bellingham is set to play in England's Euro 2024 quarterfinal against Switzerland on Saturday after receiving a one-match suspended ban and a £25,400 fine for a controversial gesture during the last-16 win over Slovakia.
The 21-year-old midfielder was investigated by UEFA for a crotch-grabbing gesture aimed at the Slovakian bench after scoring a late equalizer in the 2-1 victory. Bellingham, who has made the gesture while playing for Real Madrid, denied it was directed at Slovakia, explaining on social media that it was an "inside joke" towards friends at the game. He emphasized his respect for Slovakia's performance.
England faces Switzerland in Dusseldorf at 17:00 BST, with the match broadcast live on BBC One, BBC Radio 5 Live, and the BBC Sport website and app. All 26 players in Gareth Southgate's squad trained on Friday morning, including Bellingham.
Meanwhile, Turkey defender Merih Demiral received a two-match ban for a gesture during Turkey's last-16 win against Austria. Demiral, who scored both goals in the 2-1 victory, celebrated with a 'wolf salute,' associated with the far-right extremist group Grey Wolves, banned in Austria and France.
