European football’s governing body said it is looking into a “potential violation” of “the basic rules of decent conduct” by Bellingham.Bellingham was seen making a crotch-grabbing gesture towards the Slovakian bench after scoring an overhead kick in stoppage time.The Real Madrid player denied it was aimed at England’s opponents, saying on social media that it was an inside joke directed towards some close friends.If found to have breached the rules, the 21-year-old could face a suspension, a fine or both.The rule in question is article 11 2b, which requires anyone subject to Uefa regulations to respect the “principles of ethical conduct, loyalty, integrity and sportsmanship.”Anyone whose conduct is “insulting or otherwise violates the basic rules of decent conduct” could be in breach.If found to have breached the rules, the 21-year-old could face a suspension, a fine or both.The rule in question is article 11 2b, which requires anyone subject to Uefa regulations to respect the “principles of ethical conduct, loyalty, integrity and sportsmanship.”Anyone whose conduct is “insulting or otherwise violates the basic rules of decent conduct” could be in breach.England won 2-1 after extra time to set up a quarter-final meeting with Switzerland on Saturday.Responding to the incident on social media, Bellingham said: “An inside-joke gesture towards some close friends who were at the game.”Nothing but respect for how that Slovakia team played tonight.”Cristiano Ronaldo was fined but avoided a ban for making a similar gesture while celebrating a goal for Juventus against Atletico Madrid in a Champions League last-16 second-leg tie in 2019.Atletico boss Diego Simeone was also fined for making the gesture during the first leg.’Bellingham and FA face nervous wait’Analysis – Dan Roan, sports editorJude Bellingham and Gareth Southgate now face a nervous wait while Uefa’s inspector decides whether to charge the player. I’m told the investigation could take several days to complete.So what punishment could he be looking at, if charged and then found guilty?In terms of precedent, in February Cristiano Ronaldo was banned for a match in the Saudi Pro League after making an obscene gesture towards the crowd during a game.However, the Portuguese superstar and Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone were merely fined by Uefa after gesturing towards their crotch in separate incidents in 2019.A fine is understood to be more likely than a suspension in Bellingham’s case, but much will depend on his explanation, and how the Slovakia team viewed the incident.
