Tottenham Hotspurs captain Son Heung-Min reveals teammate Rodrigo Bentancur 'almost cried' when apologising to him for racist remark
Rodrigo Bentancur used 'racial slur' when being interviewed on Uruguayan TV. Mail Sport revealed exclusively. Is Harry Kane right to blast England drop-outs?Tottenham star Rodrigo Bentancur has been hit with a seven-match domestic ban by the Football Association for an alleged racist remark made about team-mate Son Heung-min in a TV interview.
While Bentancur swiftly apologise, due to this being an 'aggravated breach', an independent regulatory commission panel was required to either uphold the FA charge or dismiss the case. 'Rodrigo Bentancur denied this charge, but the independent Regulatory Commission found it to be proven and imposed his sanctions following a hearing.'
'My agent rang me and told me he had been notified that this was the sanction.' The 27-year-old said. 'So far, the club haven't contacted me. I already knew more or less where it was going.The news comes as a blow to Ange Postecoglou, who has relied on Bentancur this season'Now the sanction is out, I want to be calm here with the national team. Then we'll see when it's time to go back.
Son in fact revealed that team-mate Bentancur was close to tears when he apologised over the alleged racial slur. 'I love Rodrigo. I love him, I love him,' the South Korean said when he first broke his silence on the incident in June. Robert Garland made the racial gesture at the forward after he was substituted in the 89th minute against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on May 6 2023.
