Tottenham are poised to appeal Rodrigo Bentancur's seven-match ban for an alleged racist remark made about team-mate Son Heung-min in a TV interview.
Spurs do not indent to contest the guilty verdict but are hoping to get his domestic ban reduced.
Mail Sport's Sami Mokbel exclusively revealed earlier in November that the FA were set to hit the Uruguayan with a huge ban following the incident. He was subsequently given his seven-game sanction and fined £100,000.
The FA have a minimum timespan of six games for bans pertaining to racial abuse but gave Bentancur an extra game as they felt his comments constituted an 'aggravated breach'.
