In the 1/8 finals of the European Cup, England eliminated Slovakia 2-1 in overtime. During the game, Bellingham was investigated by the UEFA Disciplinary Committee after the game for making a "crotch-grabbing" celebration gesture towards the Slovakia bench. According to the "Sun" report, UEFA's investigation results will be released the day before the quarter-finals. It will be known by then whether Bellingham will be suspended?

html eliminated Slovakia in the 21/8 final, and Bellingham became the savior of the England team. He scored the equalizing goal in the 95th minute and was elected Man of the Match after the game. But after scoring, Bellingham made a "crotch-grabbing" celebration. After the game, he explained: "This was an inside joke to some close friends who watched the game. I have nothing but respect for the Slovak team's performance tonight."

The day after the game, UEFA announced that it would ban Bellingham An investigation into the crotch-grabbing goal celebration has cast a shadow over England's title prospects. According to the "Sun", although UEFA has not yet expressed any opinion, they have contacted Bellingham through the Football Association today and given him 3 days to make a reasonable explanation. In addition, UEFA also contacted the Slovak Football Association and asked them to comment on the matter.

As the investigation deepened, fans discovered that Bellingham had made similar celebrations during the game between Real Madrid and Barcelona this season. This shows that Bellingham's celebration was not an impromptu attack on the Slovak bench, and the Spanish Football Association did not impose any punishment for it at the time.

Although the British media has been looking for excuses for Bellingham, trying to avoid UEFA's additional penalties. But UEFA will not end this investigation hastily. According to British media, the results of UEFA's investigation will be released the day before the quarter-finals between England and Switzerland. In the group stage, Albanian player Daku publicly cursed Croatia during post-match celebrations and was banned by UEFA for two games. The result of his penalty was announced 24 hours before the next game.

This means that Southgate, Bellingham and the rest of the England team have to wait patiently for three days. They will only find out whether Bellingham will be suspended before heading to Dusseldorf for a pre-match press conference on Saturday.
