Meanwhile, Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has been charged by the English FA for an alleged misconduct breach for a remark made about team-mate Son Heung-min. During the summer, the Uruguay international had been asked by the host of the Canal 10 show for a Spurs player’s shirt, to which he replied: “Sonny’s? It could be Sonny’s cousin too as they all look the same.” Anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out said they had received a “significant number” of complaints in the aftermath. Bentancur apologised to the South Korea international and Spurs skipper, who said that his team-mate had “made a mistake”. A statement from the FA said: “Rodrigo Bentancur has been charged with an alleged breach of FA Rule E3 for misconduct in relation to a media interview. “It’s alleged that the Tottenham midfielder has breached FA Rule E3.1 as he acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words and/or brought the game into disrepute. “It’s further alleged that this constitutes an ‘aggravated breach’ which is defined in FA Rule E3.2, as it included a reference, whether express or implied, to nationality and/or race and/or ethnic origin.Mikel Arteta agrees new contract as Arsenal manager to 2027Restaurant review: No amount of gold can redeem this one-star Donnybrook debacle Apple warned Government of ‘real threat to Ireland’ from countries trying to lure multinationals away Spray foam insulation: as 300,000 UK homeowners are left in a tight spot, Irish surveyors have their own warningsGerman ministry denies claims it considered sanctioning academics supporting PalestineLatest news from the world of sport, along with the best in opinion from our outstanding team of sports writers
