Rodrigo Bentancur has been suspended for five Premier League matches. Indeed, while he had been the author of a joke in bad taste towards his teammate Heung-min Son and the South Koreans, the Uruguayan midfielder had seen the English Federation take up the matter and suspend him of 7 Premier League matches.
A sanction to which must be added a fine of 119,000 euros. While this sanction was pronounced on November 18, the London club decided to appeal. An appeal which was rejected by the FA as explained Sky Sports in an article of the day. The former Juventus Turin player will therefore miss Spurs’ next clashes against Manchester United in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup, and against Liverpool in the Premier League this Sunday.
