Overview
Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has received a seven-match ban and a £100,000 fine from the FA for making an offensive comment about South Koreans during a TV interview. The FA deemed his remarks, which he claimed were sarcastic, as abusive and constituting an aggravated breach due to references to race or nationality. Bentancur's suspension applies only to domestic matches, allowing him to participate in Europa League events. In light of the incident, he is also required to attend an educational program on conduct. Teammate Son Heung-min accepted Bentancur's apology, reiterating their camaraderie.
