Tottenham midfielder Bentancourt, who was suspended for seven games and fined £100,000 for making racist comments to teammate Son Heung-min, will return.
Tottenham manager Anji Postecoglou explained that Bentancourt will be able to play in the Boxing Day away match against Nottingham on the 27th.
As Bentancourt missed seven games from the match against Manchester City on the 24th of last month to the quarterfinals of the Premier League and the Carabao Cup, it is urgent to regain his sense of practice.
Tottenham, which has slowed to 11th place amid a string of main players, will clash with Nottingham, which has recently jumped to fourth place with three consecutive wins, at midnight on the 27th.
When asked by the host to save Son Heung-min's uniform on his national television in June, Bentancourt, the Uruguayan national team, said that he would not know even if he gave Son's cousin's uniform, and that Son Heung-min and his cousin looked the same.It revealed the racist perception that
'Oriental people look the same', but as the controversy grew, Bentancourt apologized on social media and Son Heung-min accepted it, but the criticism did not die down.
