However, Jude Bellingham has now come under fire after his obscene gesture celebrating his goal is being invested by UEFA and that could prove to be troublesome for the England star.

Will Jude Bellingham be banned at Euro 2024 for Obscene Gesture?

As Jude Bellingham scored the equalising goal for England he did his usual arms out celebration. However, it was after that he was seen celebrating with an obscene gesture that pointed to his groin area as if to say he has ‘Big Cojones’.

As it turns out, UEFA has taken issue with the celebration and are investing the incident. UEFA has appointed a disciplinary inspector to investigate “a potential violation of the basic rules of decent conduct,”. 

If the investigation does turn out to be against Jude Bellingham then he is on the risk to be suspended for England's quarterfinal tie against Switzerland. Given England's dire run of form at Euro 2024 and their lack of attacking output losing a player like Jude Bellingham will come as a huge blow to their aspirations. 

However, despite the risk the expectation is that Jude Bellingham could be let free to play the game but be fined by UEFA.
