Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has been handed a seven-match ban and fined £100,000 for using a racial slur towards Son Heung-min.
The incident occurred during a Premier League match between Tottenham and Chelsea earlier this season.
Bentancur’s actions have been widely condemned, and the FA has taken strong disciplinary action.
While the ban will not affect his participation in European competitions, including the Europa League, he will be unavailable for Tottenham’s domestic matches.
This significant punishment serves as a strong message against racism in football.
