[Saba Sports News] According to reports in the British media, Jude Bellingham will not face suspension but will be fined a significant amount. In the previous European Championship Round of 16 match, Bellingham scored an impressive equalizer with an overhead kick. Ultimately, England defeated Slovakia 2-1 in overtime and advanced to the quarterfinals. However, Bellingham was caught on camera making an indecent gesture towards the Slovakian bench and grabbing his lower body. Following the match, UEFA officially announced that they would investigate Bellingham’s actions for potential violations of disciplinary rules due to his inappropriate behavior. Reports suggest that while Bellingham’s behavior was unsportsmanlike, it was not specifically directed at his opponents. As a result, he will not face suspension but will be fined a significant amount. Furthermore, Slovakia did not file any charges against Bellingham. It’s worth noting that during the 2022 World Cup, Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez also made similar indecent gestures after winning the championship, but he ultimately faced no punishment.
