GettyWHAT HAPPENED?
The two England youngsters clashed during Madrid's 2-0 win at Getafe on February 1, with Bellingham allegedly mouthing the word "rapist" towards the Manchester United loanee. After Getafe lodged a complaint with La Liga's representative and a lip reader looked into the incident, The Sun writes that the league has referred this to the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).

Getty ImagesTHE EXPLANATION
The report adds the RFEF are appointing a judge to fully investigate the incident and they will decide within the next two weeks whether the 20-year-old will be punished. If found guilty and it falls under the 'serious' category, the former Borussia Dortmund star could get a four-match ban but if considered 'grave', Bellingham may be suspended for 10 games. Both Madrid and Getafe would have 10 days to appeal that verdict.

Getty ImagesDID YOU KNOW?
Greenwood, 22, joined Getafe on loan last September - seven months after charges of attempted rape, assault, and coercive control were dropped. The forward was first arrested in January 2022 in relation to distressing images and audio released on social media. Despite the charges being waved, Greenwood has not featured for United again and may have already played his last game for the club.
