Tottenham's Rodrigo Bentancur Suspended for Seven Matches Over Racist Comment

Bentancur's remark about teammate Son Heung-min leads to a significant domestic ban, though he remains eligible for Europa League play.

  • Bentancur made a racist comment during a TV interview in June, referring to Son Heung-min and his cousins as 'all looking the same.'
  • The FA charged Bentancur with an aggravated breach of rules, leading to a seven-match domestic suspension.
  • Despite the ban, Bentancur will still be able to participate in Tottenham's Europa League fixtures.
  • Son Heung-min accepted Bentancur's apology, stating they have moved past the incident as teammates and friends.
  • The suspension will see Bentancur miss key Premier League and Carabao Cup matches, including games against Manchester City and Liverpool.
