Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur believes he will be given a lengthy ban for his summer comments regarding team-mate Heung-Min Son.
Bentancur says he has been informed of his potential punishment by his agent, amid reports he will be suspended by the FA for seven games, but this sanction has not been confirmed by the governing body, nor his club.
Speaking on international duty with Uruguay, Bentancur said: “My agent rang me and told me he had been notified that this was the sanction.
“So far, the club haven’t contacted me. I already knew more or less where it was going.
“Now the sanction is out, I want to be calm here with the national team. Then we’ll see when it’s time to go back.”
The FA announced in September that it had charged Bentancur with misconduct in relation to its rules on abuse and insults and those that include references to race or ethnic origin.
