The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder will be out until late next month following a big ban following his FA charge and subsequent verdict
The full reasons have been given for why Rodrigo Bentancur has been handed a seven-game suspension and £100,000 fine for his comments about his Tottenham captain Son Heung-min and the midfielder has also put his side across.
The FA announced on Monday that “an independent regulatory commission has imposed a seven-match suspension and £100,000 fine on Rodrigo Bentancur for a breach of FA Rule E3 in relation to a media interview.
It was alleged that the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder breached FA Rule E3.1 as he acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words and/or brought the game into disrepute.
It was further alleged that this constitutes an “aggravated breach”, which is defined in FA Rule E3.2, as it included a reference – whether express or implied – to nationality and/or race and/or ethnic origin.
“Rodrigo Bentancur denied this charge, but the independent regulatory commission found it to be proven and imposed his sanctions following a hearing.”
