Rodrigo Bentancur has been banned for seven matches and fined £100,000 by the FA for making improper comments about his teammate Son Heung-min's ethnicity.
Son described his bond with Bentancur, stating, 'I love Rodrigo... he sent me a long text message that you could feel was coming from his heart... he just felt really sorry.'
Following an independent regulatory commission's hearing, Bentancur was found guilty of the FA charges, resulting in missing crucial matches including the Premier League and Carabao Cup.
The FA's statement emphasized that Bentancur's actions constituted an aggravated breach under Rule E3.2 due to references to nationality and ethnicity, leading to severe repercussions.
