Euro 2024: England's Jude Bellingham learns whether he will face Switzerland

Will Bellingham face Switzerland? England star learns suspension fate

Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham will be available for England's Euro 2024 quarter-final against Switzerland on Saturday, UEFA confirm.

Jude Bellingham will be available for England's Euro 2024 quarter-final against Switzerland on Saturday.

There had been severe doubt over the Real Madrid midfielder's availability for the last-eight contest due to a gesture that he made after scoring against Slovakia in the round of 16.

Bellingham kissed his right hand before grabbing his crotch in the direction of the Slovakia bench, but the ex-Birmingham City youngster later insisted that it was "an inside-joke gesture towards some close friends".

The 21-year-old firmly denied that he directed the gesture towards the Slovakia bench, but there had been suggestions that he could be banned for England's quarter-final with Switzerland.

However, Bellingham has been fined €30,000 (£25,400) and given a suspended one-match ban by UEFA.

UEFA said that he was guilty of "violating the basic rules of decent conduct".

Meanwhile, it was added that "said suspension is not immediately enforced and is subject to a probationary period of one year, starting from the date of the present decision."

The decision is a huge boost for England, with Bellingham scoring twice for the national side at the competition, including a last-gasp leveller against Slovakia in the round of 16.

The Real Madrid midfielder entered the competition off the back of scoring 23 goals and registering 13 assists in 42 appearances at club level during the 2023-24 campaign.

England will be without the services of Marc Guehi on Saturday, though, with the Crystal Palace centre-back suspended due to the yellow card that he picked up against Slovakia.
