Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham could be facing a lengthy ban following their La Liga draw against Osasuna at the weekend.  

The English star was shown a straight red, for allegedly using foul language against the match referee.  

According to Spanish rules, he could face action for insulting a match official, which carries a maximum ban of 12 matches.  

However, he may escape with just a two or three-game suspension if he's hit with a lesser charge of showing disrespect.
