The English Football Association (FA) rules on the case of Rodrigo Bentancur. The Uruguayan midfielder from Tottenham received a seven-match ban for making comments deemed racist towards teammate Son Heung-min.
During an interview with Uruguayan media where he presented his collection of jerseys, Bentancur showed a tunic from the South Korean national team, joking: “Or that of one of his cousins, as they look pretty much alike all “.
A busy schedule compromised for Bentancur
Faced with the controversy, the former Juventus apologized to Son, who accepted them. “He made a mistake, he knows it, and he apologized,” the Spurs captain said. Despite this gesture, the FA fined Bentancur 120,000 euros in addition to his suspension.
The native of Nueva Helvecia will miss several important matches, including those against Manchester City next Saturday, Chelsea on December 8 and Liverpool on December 22. He will also be absent for the English League Cup quarter-final against Manchester United on December 19. On the other hand, he will be able to participate in Europa League matches, in particular the fifth day against AS Roma, scheduled for November 28.
