Heung Min Son: Tottenham Hotspur have announced they will appeal to the Football Association (FA) regarding Rodrigo Bentancur’s seven-game ban on counts of racist remarks on South Korean teammate and captain Heung Min Son by the sport's governing body in the country.
“We can confirm that the club has appealed against the length of Rodrigo Bentancur’s FA suspension, issued earlier this week. While we accept the guilty finding against Rodrigo by the independent regulatory commission, we believe the subsequent sanction is severe," the club said in a release on Wednesday.
“Rodrigo will remain suspended from domestic competitions while the appeal is heard and the Club will make no further comment during this time,” read the statement by Tottenham Hotspur.
