Rodrigo Bentancur was handed a seven-game ban by the FA for comments regarding South Korea captain Son Heung-min, deemed an aggravated breach of FA Rule E3.2.
The FA found Bentancur guilty of using 'abusive and/or insulting words' regarding nationality and/or race in a televised media interview, leading to a severe sanction.
In contrast, Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez faced no disciplinary action from the FA, despite posting a video containing a chant questioning the heritage of France's players.
Bentancur expressed remorse for his comments but denied the FA's charge, illustrating a potential discrepancy in the FA's treatment of similar situations involving different players.
