Bellingham is accused of referring to Greenwood as a “rapist” after Greenwood made a tackle following the match.
This remark appears to allude to Greenwood’s recent legal troubles, including charges of attempted rape, coercive behavior, and assault filed by Greater Manchester Police.
Getafe took this matter seriously and formally protested to La Liga about Bellingham’s behavior towards them. As a result, Bellingham now faces the possibility of a lengthy suspension, catching both him and the club off guard.
According to reports from the Sun, La Liga has requested the RFEF competition committee to investigate the incident thoroughly. An appointed judge will oversee the investigation, with a verdict expected within two weeks to determine Bellingham’s fate.
If Bellingham is found guilty, the severity of the punishment will depend on the classification of the offense. A “serious” infraction could result in a suspension of up to four games, while a “grave” offense could lead to a suspension of up to ten matches.
Since joining Real Madrid from Dortmund in the summer, Jude Bellingham has been a key player for the club, significantly impacting the team’s performance with 16 goals and three assists in 21 league games, totaling 20 goals and eight assists across all competitions.
Therefore, Real Madrid would suffer a considerable setback if Bellingham were to face a potential suspension, affecting their chances of success in both domestic and European competitions.
