The message from Bellingham was a gesture meant as an inside joke to his close friends who were present at the game. It may have been intended to show boldness in scoring at a crucial moment amidst high emotion.
Initially, UEFA had planned to take no action, but after social media backlash, they initiated an investigation. However, a decision is not expected soon, as evidenced by the ongoing case against Serbia for alleged racial abuse of England players.
It is unlikely that Bellingham will face a ban. On Tuesday, Bellingham and other England players were given the day off to relax with their families before returning to training on Wednesday for the upcoming quarter-final match against Switzerland.
There was a query about the ideal team England should field against Switzerland. Additionally, there was a call to join a new WhatsApp community to receive daily Mirror Football content and special offers, promotions, and advertisements from the organizers and their partners.
It was also mentioned that members could leave the community if they wished.
