Rodrigo Bentancur has received a seven-match suspension from the Football Association for making a racial remark about his Tottenham teammate, Son Heung-min. The Uruguayan midfielder has also been fined £100,000. Although Bentancur denied the charge, the FA classified it as an “aggravated breach” of its regulations due to its reference to nationality and/or race and/or ethnic origin. The incident stems from a TV interview Bentancur conducted in June while on international duty with Uruguay. During the interview, he was asked to name a Spurs player whose shirt he could provide. Bentancur responded, “Sonny’s? It could be Sonny’s cousin too as they all look the same.” Following the backlash, he quickly issued an apology but was subsequently charged by the FA in September.
