England’s Jude Bellingham faces a disciplinary investigation over a potential breach of the “basic rules of decent conduct” during England’s win over Slovakia at Euro 2024.
It’s understood to relate to Bellingham grabbing his crotch after scoring England’s equaliser in added time of the match.
Harry Kane went on to score England’s winner in extra-time.
In a statement, UEFA said an “Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector” will carry out a disciplinary investigation “regarding a potential violation of the basic rules of decent conduct”.
“Information on this matter will be made available in due course,” the governing body added.
The Real Madrid star posted on X about the gesture in the hours after the match, describing his act as an “inside joke”.
“An inside joke gesture towards some close friends who were at the game,” he said.
“Nothing but respect for how that Slovakia team played tonight.”
England will play Switzerland in the quarter-finals on Saturday, with two-goal Bellingham their top scorer of the tournament so far.
