But the club do want Bellingham’s alleged insult to Greenwood to be analysed for LaLiga to also study the images and make a final decision if it considers it pertinent.
Greenwood was accused of attempted rape with the prosecutors dropping the case against the then Manchester United player in February of last year with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) claiming at the time that there was “no longer a realistic prospect of conviction” after key witnesses withdrew their cooperation from the investigation.
Greenwood signed for La Liga side Getafe CF on a season-long loan last September and has been a consistent player for the ‘Azulones’ making 18 appearances in the league along with three in the Copa del Rey.
