Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has been handed a seven-game ban for his summer comments regarding team-mate Heung-Min Son.
Bentancur was informed of his potential punishment by his agent last week and the Football Association has now confirmed the sanction. Speaking on international duty with Uruguay, Bentancur said: 'My agent rang me and told me he had been notified that this was the sanction.
Bentancur insisted it was a 'very bad joke' after he said Son and his cousins 'all look the same' in an interview with Uruguayan national TV. Son said they remained 'brothers' and 'nothing had changed' after Bentancur immediately apologised to him, admitting he had 'made a mistake'. Tottenham travel to Manchester City next on Saturday November 23.
