England received positive news ahead of their Euro 2024 quarterfinal match against Switzerland, as Jude Bellingham has been cleared to play. Bellingham was facing investigation from UEFA for a lewd gesture he made after scoring a crucial goal in the round of 16 against Slovakia. Despite the controversial celebration, UEFA decided to fine Bellingham and give him a suspended one-game ban, allowing him to play in the upcoming match against Switzerland.
Bellingham’s clearance is a major boost for England, who will be without central defender Marc Guehi due to suspension. The 21-year-old midfielder has been a standout player for England over the past year, earning praise for his performances at both the club and international level. His recent goal against Slovakia only added to his growing reputation and Ballon d’Or aspirations.
On the other hand, Turkey’s Merih Demiral was not as fortunate, as he received a two-game suspension for a controversial gesture he made during their round of 16 match against Austria. Demiral’s gesture, which was associated with an extremist nationalist group, sparked diplomatic tensions between Turkey and Germany. UEFA deemed the gesture as a violation of sporting conduct and brought the sport of football into disrepute.
As England prepares to face Switzerland in Dusseldorf, fans eagerly anticipate Bellingham’s performance on the field. His clearance to play will be a significant factor for England’s chances in the quarterfinal match. Meanwhile, Turkey will have to cope without Demiral’s presence in their upcoming games, as they navigate through the later stages of the tournament.
