Sandro Tonali Likely To Get 10-Month Ban In Gambling Probe by AImiron: 12:59pm On Oct 25, 2023
Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali is likely to get a 10-month ban in the gambling probe as the Italian authorities are set to announce their verdict.

Tonali, who was dropped from the latest Italy squad along with Nicolò Zaniolo is facing an investigation in a gambling probe, with the former admitting of the charges while playing for AC Milan.

In addition to the 10-month playing ban, he will also have to undertake eight months of participation in a gambling rehab plan

Tonali, Newcastle’s record signing in whopping $70 million was subject to investigation in early October where he was found guilty of placing bets. During his time with AC Milan, he placed bets on his team, which could still result in a match-fixing investigation for the players. The gambling bets were termed illegal and were under the radar of Italian authorities.

The 23-year-old has been assisting in the investigation which could serve as a relief to the player in long-term. However, the 10-month ban could see his short-term future in jeopardy as he will miss the rest of the Premier League season with Newcastle and will also sit on the sidelines during the Euro 2024 if Italy eventually make it to the showpiece. However, had the midfielder not cooperated in the investigation he could have faced a ban of three years.

Since the ban is yet to be imposed, Tonali is available for selection for the upcoming matches of Newcastle United. He has been training with the side ahead of their Champions League contest against German giants Borussia Dortmund. He played in the final 20 minutes in Newcastle’s 4-0 win against Crystal Palace and is likely to participate in the Champions League match.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, manager Eddie Howe said: "Sandro is fit and fine. Obviously, there's things going on, but it's the same as he was before the Crystal Palace match."

When pressed on Tonali's availability, Howe added: "As far as I'm aware, I'm expecting him to be available for tomorrow.

"I'm in a position where I'll plan like that until I'm told differently. I can't second guess what's going to happen.

The Magpies have so far collected four points from their opening two Champions League matches with another win on Wednesday seeing them in command of the group.

Addiction knows no boundaries, color, or profession, he made a gross miscalculation that will definitely affect his career, one that he can bounce back from. Sometimes we forget that these stars are human too and can be frail, the only difference is that as professional they need to adhere to the code of conduct and gambling as a football player is a big NO.

This should not affect Newcastle's form as they have very good players to step in for him. I wish him all the best.

you would be surprised that a big chunk of the money they pay them go into taxes and bills... this is why most of them end up poor or average after they leave football, especially those who didn't invest themselves in other ventures...
