What did Bentancur said?




When charging the Uruguay international the FA said it was "an alleged breach of FA rule E3 for misconduct in relation to a media interview".

The FA said this constituted an "aggravated breach... as it included a reference, whether express or implied, to nationality and/or race and/or ethnic origin".

In the media interview in question, asked by a presenter for a Tottenham shirt, Bentancur replied: "Sonny's? It could be Sonny's cousin too as they all look the same."

He later apologised on social media and said his comments were a "very bad joke".

Bentancur also said sorry to South Korea forward Son, who said he would "not mean to ever intentionally say something offensive".
