He Tottenham Hotspur has appealed against the Uruguayan international midfielder’s seven-match suspension Rodrigo Bentancur for a racist comment about South Koreans Heung-min’s son.

The London club will appeal the penalty, which was applied by the FA, to try to reduce the number of games Bentancur will miss, who in principle will not be able to play again until the end of December.
Being a television interview, with a presenter who has a wide following in social networks and being Bentancur a high profile player in the Premier Leagueit is unlikely that the penalty reduction will be significant and, at most, it could stay for six games.
When he is also Uruguayan Edinson Cavani He received three sanctioning matches in 2020 for calling a friend “black” in instagramthe punishment is less than this for doing it on social networks.
Another scenario is that the application of the penalty is delayed pending the outcome of the appeal, which would make Bentancur available to face the City of Manchester.
