Tottenham Hotspur's Rodrigo Bentancur has received a seven-match ban for making a racist remark about South Korean teammate Son Heung-min during a television appearance.
The English Football Association described Bentancur's actions as an aggravated breach, stating it involved abusive words that brought the game into disrepute.
In his apology, Bentancur recognized his comment as a 'very bad joke' while Son Heung-min accepted the apology, emphasizing their solidarity as teammates.
The independent commission fined Bentancur £100,000 and mandated attendance at an educational program, stating that his suspension applies only to domestic matches.
