Spurs have now appealed the ruling and explained: "We can confirm that the club has appealed against the length of Rodrigo Bentancur's FA suspension, issued earlier this week.
"While we accept the guilty finding against Rodrigo by the independent regulatory commission, we believe the subsequent sanction is severe.
"Rodrigo will remain suspended from domestic competitions while the appeal is heard and the club will make no further comment during this time."
