London: Son Heung-min said Tottenham team-mate Rodrigo Bentancur "almost cried" when he apologised over an alleged racist remark about the South Korean.
Bentancur was charged by the Football Association earlier this month with an alleged misconduct breach in relation to a media interview on Uruguayan TV.
The former Juventus midfielder had been asked in June 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."
Bentancur apologised to Tottenham captain Son, who said his team-mate had "made a mistake".
But because the wording of the charge refers to an "aggravated breach", he could reportedly be banned for six to 12 domestic matches.
