Tottenham Challenges Bentancur's 7-Game Ban for Son Remark
Tottenham Hotspur have appealed the seven-game ban imposed on Rodrigo Bentancur for making racially insensitive comments about teammate Son Heung-min. Bentancur was fined £100,000 and banned for using "insulting words" that referenced ethnic origin. Tottenham accepted the decision but are appealing the length of the ban, hoping for a reduction. The FA's minimum ban for discriminatory language is six games, and Bentancur's comments were made in a TV interview, limiting the scope for a significant reduction.
