Epl: Newcastle's Tonali Escapes Further Ban For Betting Breaches

By Chimezie Nebolisa

The English Football Association announced Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali has been handed a suspended two-month ban and fined £20 000 ($25 000) for breaches of betting rules.

The Italian international is already currently serving a 10-month ban handed down by the Italian authorities for betting offences that will rule him out of the rest of the club season and Euro 2024.

Tonali had been charged by the FA with a further 50 breaches between August and October last year after he made the move to Newcastle.

However, he will serve no further ban as long as he does not commit another offence before the end of the 2024/25 season.

Tonali's agent has previously said his client, who joined Newcastle from AC Milan in July for around £55 million, has a gambling addiction.
