Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has been charged by the 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.”
