Suspended for 10 months last October by the Italian federation after being found guilty of offenses in a sports betting case, Sandro Tonali has just been caught again. But this time, it is the English federation which accuses him of having bet on 50 matches between August and October 2023. A second indictment feared by Newcastle. Indeed, the Magpies are now waiting to know if the Italian midfielder they recruited last summer will see his suspension extended or if his sanction will be served at the same time as his current suspension. Asked this Friday about this thorny issue, Tonus coach Eddie Howe, above all wanted to send a message of support to his player.

” We do not know. In any case, I hope for Sandro that there will be no other consequences. He suffered during this period. He sought help. He was very honest. He admitted he had a problem. The best thing for Sandro would be for him to resume his career after suffering his punishment and learning many lessons from this case. This illness did not stop when he moved to England. This disease existed and people should treat it as such and not blame him and punish him even more, because I don't think that gets to the root of the problem. We must protect all our players. It is something that affects everyone and is becoming an increasingly important problem in society. It’s not just a problem for Sandro”he confided at a press conference.
