Rodrigo Bentancur’s Seven-Match Ban Upheld By FA After Racial Slur Incident
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur will miss the final two matches of his seven-match suspension as the Football Association (FA) dismisses his appeal. The ban was imposed after Bentancur used a racial slur regarding teammate Son Heung-min on television. Although Spurs accepted the ruling, they contested the length of the suspension, which was ultimately upheld. Bentancur will be sidelined for key matches against Manchester United and Liverpool but has been eligible to play in Europa League fixtures during this period.
