Bentancur set for lengthy ban over alleged racist remark about teammate

Tottenham midfielder faces minimum six-game ban
FA had charged Bentancur for Son Heung-min comment

Tottenham are resigned to Rodrigo Bentancur being given a lengthy ban of at least six matches by the Football Association for making an allegedly racist remark about his teammate Son Heung-min.

The 27-year-old midfielder was charged with an “aggravated breach” of FA rules in September for offensive comments made during a television interview broadcast in Uruguay in June, when he said that Son and his South Korea teammates “all look the same”.
