Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur apologises to captain Son Heung-min for using a racial slur on Uruguayan television.
Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has apologised to captain Son Heung-min for using a racial slur on Uruguayan television, saying it was a "very bad joke".
While appearing on Canal 10 show Por La Camiseta, Bentancur was asked by host Rafa Cotelo for a Spurs player's shirt. The Uruguay international replied: "Sonny's? It could be Sonny's cousin too as they all look the same." After backlash to the clip, which was circulated on social media, he apologised to the South Korea international on Instagram."You know I love you and I would never disrespect you or hurt you or anyone else! I love you, brother!"The two players have been team-mates since Bentancur joined the club from Juventus in January 2022.
Bentancur is preparing to represent his country at this summer’s Copa America in the United States, which starts on 20 June.An alternative take on Scotland's Euros adventure'Iceman', 'The Robot', 'The New Modric' - 24 new players to watch at Euro 2024'I'm not afraid to lose, I'm not afraid to win,' says 'underdog' Peaty
