Newcastle's Sandro Tonali Receives Suspended Two-Month Ban for Betting Breaches
The ban is suspended for the 2024-25 season, allowing Tonali to return to play after serving a separate 10-month suspension from the Italian Football Federation.
- Sandro Tonali admitted to 50 breaches of the FA's betting rules, resulting in a £20,000 fine and a suspended two-month ban.
- The suspension by the FA will not be enforced if Tonali adheres to betting regulations throughout the 2024-25 season.
- Tonali's cooperation with the investigation was noted as 'extraordinary and unprecedented' by the FA.
- Despite the scandal, Newcastle continues to support Tonali with a therapeutic plan and educational programs.
- Tonali, who joined Newcastle for a record fee, has not played since receiving a 10-month ban from the Italian Football Federation last October.
