Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has been handed a severe seven-match ban for comments made toward teammate Son Heung-min. However, the Uruguayan has found strong support from his coach, Ange Postecoglou.
Quote:"He’s one of those whose football has reached a new level. But we understood this situation might arise, and we all agreed that whatever the punishment would be... I fully support the club’s decision to appeal the severity of the ban. Ultimately, we know he’ll be out for a number of games.
We’ll work with Rodrigo and ensure he receives all the support he needs during this time so that, when he’s available again, he’s ready to go," Postecoglou told Sky Sports.
