RODRIGO BENTANCUR is understood to have been banned for seven domestic games for a racist comment about Tottenham team-mate Son Heung-min.
The Uruguayan midfielder, 27, was charged by the FA in September for an “aggravated breach” and faced a ban of between six and 12 matches.
He has now learned the extent of his punishment which will mean he is unable to play until mid-December.
Back in June, Bentancur suggested that all South Korean people “look the same” during a Uruguayan TV interview.

Is this current?
the sun can’t even spell captain
Bentancur absolutely deserves his punishment but you shouldn't be defending the double standard in the case of Enzo Fernandez
Bro he didn’t say anything
Inglaterra uno de los países más racistas queriendo ganar la medalla del moralismo porque a nivel selecciones no gana nada 😢😢😢
Woke society
I thought making a comment and a joke were two different things
Really didn’t say anything serious, did you hear Monty Pythons I like Chinese song, what a load of crap your proper English culture
pathetic bias journalism
Cover up of David coote vid
Is this because he jokes that he cannot tell the difference ?? If so, this beyond ridiculous. It is a fact that caucasians have a difficulty to tell apart asians, and that is reciprocal. But then, this is Tottenham.
We got friends and talk to each other like this come on man
Sonny didn't even really care. Sensitive people are making a big deal out of it.
Crybaby generation,
i'm mexican and most of us looks
like the same, even latinos shares
similar facial characteristics. People
use this wanti-r4cism》 thins with a
political purpose. Betancour
shouldn't be banned.
Not racism.
