England midfielder Jude Bellingham is free to play in their Euro 2024 home game against Switzerland after UEFA opted to hand the Real Madrid star a one-match ban.

UEFA have confirmed they have punished Bellingham with a €30,000 (£25,400) fine and a one-match ban which will only be triggered if the midfielder commits a similar breach in the next 12 months.
