UEFA Decides On Banning Bellingham And Declan Rice

UEFA has decided not to ban the England duo of Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice following their dramatic 2-1 win over Slovakia at Euro 2024 on Sunday.

Bellingham, who scored for 1-1, appeared to have made a lewd gesture toward the Slovakia bench.

Rice was also embroiled in a spat with opposition boss, Francesco Calzona.

But they have both been let off the hook.

A UEFA spokesperson told Mirror Football: “Following the review of the officials’ reports for ENG-SVK match, disciplinary proceedings have been opened against the English Football Association for lighting of fireworks and crowd disturbances.

“The CEDB will decide on this case in due course. No further proceedings were opened from this match.”
