The FA charged Rodrigo Bentancur with an aggravated breach of its rules for making offensive comments about teammate Son Heung-min, during a 2023 Uruguayan interview.
Bentancur's remark, suggesting that Son and his South Korean teammates all look the same, led to public and private apologies, but an FA investigation followed.
Tottenham questioned the FA's jurisdiction over Bentancur's comments made while on international duty, but now seem resigned to his potential six-match ban.
The FA has established a minimum sanction of six matches for the use of racist language, which has raised concerns for Tottenham regarding Bentancur's future.
