Italy and Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali will not be able to play for 18 months due to a betting case. This was reported by sky sports.
The Italian footballer will receive an 18-month suspension, but at least six will receive treatment for gambling addiction and public appearances. However, according to the publication, the football player’s side will try to reduce this period to 10 months due to the player’s admission of guilt.
On 12 October, journalist Corona said that Juventus Torino midfielder Nicolo Fagioli had placed a bet, and then said that Sandro Tonali and Nicolo Zaniolo “did that too”.
23-year-old Tonali is known for his performances in Brescia and Milan. He played 15 times for the Italian national team.
In the summer of 2023, Tonali became a Newcastle player. The English club is competing in the group stage of the Champions League this season. The midfielder played in two matches in this tournament without scoring a goal. His national team still has the right to participate in the European Championship, but in case of disqualification, the football player will miss this tournament as well.
