ai generated text

Rodrigo Bentancur, a Uruguayan footballer, has been found guilty of making a racist remark about South Korean people, specifically targeting his Tottenham Hotspur team-mate Son Heung-min. Bentancur has been banned for seven matches, which applies to domestic games, and will therefore miss Tottenham's next six Premier League fixtures. In addition to the ban, he has also been fined around $126,000 (approximately £100,000).

    1. As a group and team we have all put a line under it and moved on. But I think ultimately it is important we realise these kinds of things need to be looked at with the seriousness it has been. As far as I am concerned and the team is concerned there is a line under it and we moved on.
