Jude Bellingham and four other England players at risk of Euro 2024 suspension ahead of Switzerland clash

England will already be without defender Marc Guehi for the clash, with the Crystal Palace star impressing at the tournament in Germany so far.

Guehi picked up a second yellow of Euro 2024 in the 2-1 win over Slovakia on Sunday, having picked up a caution in their goalless draw with Slovenia on matchday three.

England are expected to replace the centre-back with Aston Villa's Ezri Konsa.

But the Three Lions will need to be careful when they face Switzerland on Saturday, with a place in the Euro 2024 semi-finals at stake.

Bellingham was booked against Slovakia as his temper started to boil over.

And though he's escaped a ban for the match with Switzerland, his caution last time out means he's walking a tightrope.

Bellingham, should he be booked again, will be ruled out of the semi-final - providing England can get there.

It's a similar case with four of his team-mates, too.

Conor Gallagher was booked in the 1-1 draw with Denmark on matchday two - meaning the Chelsea star can't break the rules again.

Kieran Trippier and Phil Foden both picked up yellows in the draw with Slovenia.

And Kobbie Mainoo will also have to take great care against Switzerland after being disciplined against Slovakia on Sunday.

If England do come through Saturday's fixture against Switzerland unscatched, all yellows will be wiped clear.

That means the only way a player can miss the final is if they receive a straight red card.

Out of the booked players, it'll be interesting to see who starts.

Bellingham and Foden are expected to play in the No 10 position, while Trippier could be used at right wing-back.

Mainoo is expected to be deployed alongside Declan Rice in midfield, with Gallagher left on the bench.

And if England do win, they'll be just two victories away from finally securing a first major trophy since the 1966 World Cup.

John Stones, meanwhile, said on Thursday that their 2-1 win over Slovakia can be a 'turning point' for their tournament.

“I think it is a turning point emotionally to do it in such a high-pressure moment in the last few minutes," he said.

"I believe it is going to change a lot of things for the team, going through those emotions.

“There is a great picture of us celebrating that goal and all the bench are off and the staff are off their seats in the stands. It shows you that unity as a team.

“When you have done these things you believe even more that you can do better when it gets tough. I have learnt quickly over my career to shut that out.

“Especially after an iconic moment of my career with us playing Aston Villa and scoring goals in final minutes, having the same feeling in that game and trying to use that during the game the other day to get out of that mindset and change it to a positive.

“We believe we really can win and believe we can score. It paid off. I thought we were going home after 60 minutes of the game, and to change the mindset of us all and keep that belief and faith it's got a lot of power behind that, I think, for ourselves, other teams.

“Everyone watching at home knows that we're there to do it right until the last minute. Literally. And I think we should take great confidence from that - that's something that's not easy to do, especially in a high pressure game.

“Understandably, the fans weren't happy with the performance. We recognise that, and I think we use that as fuel to try and go that extra mile and make it count.

“My time I've been here to do it repeatedly every tournament, be there is a big thing for us and we've got to grasp it with two hands and got to get to the next stage.”
