Tottenham's Rodrigo Bentancur Fails Appeal Against Seven-Match Ban

The midfielder's suspension for making a racist remark about teammate Son Heung-min has been upheld by the FA.

Rodrigo Bentancur's seven-match suspension for a racist comment about teammate Son Heung-min remains in place after Tottenham's appeal was dismissed.
The Football Association confirmed the decision, stating the punishment was appropriate for the aggravated breach of FA Rule E3.
Bentancur was fined £100,000 in addition to the suspension, which was imposed after an independent commission deemed his remarks abusive and insulting.
The incident stemmed from a June interview where Bentancur made a racially insensitive comment about South Koreans, later apologizing to Son Heung-min, who accepted the apology.
The midfielder will miss Tottenham's upcoming League Cup quarterfinal against Manchester United and a key Premier League match against Liverpool.
