UEFA has cleared England midfielder Jude Bellingham to play in the Euro 2024 quarter-final against Switzerland. The Real Madrid star, who scored a spectacular bicycle kick in the last-16 victory over Slovakia, was under investigation for his gesture during his goal celebration. UEFA's decision came with a suspended one-match ban and a €30,000 (£25,406) fine, which will only be enforced if there is another offense within the next year.
Despite the investigation, Bellingham's ability to participate in the upcoming match provides a significant boost to England's squad. Manager Gareth Southgate now faces the challenge of optimizing his lineup to utilize Bellingham's talents fully. In addition to Bellingham's situation, the Football Association (FA) received fines totaling €11,000 (£9,312) for crowd disturbances and the lighting of fireworks during the Slovakia match.
As England prepares for the quarter-final clash against Switzerland, all eyes will be on Bellingham to see if he can continue his impressive form and help lead the team to victory.
