Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has been handed a seven-game ban and a £100,000 fine by the English Football Association for using abusive language and bringing the game into disrepute during an interview on Uruguayan TV.

Tottenham Hotspur player Rodrigo Bentancur has been given a seven-match suspension and fined around $126,000 (£100,000) for a comment he made in an interview about teammate Son Heung-min.

In a written submission in his defence on behalf of the player, Tottenham claimed: "Rodrigo's reply was sarcastic and a gentle rebuke for the journalist calling Sonny ‘The Korean’. Rodrigo does not believe that all Koreans ‘look more or less the same’.
