Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali has suffered greatly due to his gambling addiction.
Italian and English national team midfielder Newcastle Sandro Tonali received his punishment for betting on sports events.
According to Sky Sports Italy, referring to the Italian Football Federation, the footballer was officially disqualified for 10 months for betting on football matches. In addition, the Italian national team player will undergo an 8-month course of treatment for gambling addiction.
The football player will be forced to give 16 public speeches about the negative consequences of gambling addiction. This decision was the result of an agreement between the 23-year-old midfielder and the FFI prosecutor, within the framework of which Tonali admitted his guilt.
So, the midfielder will definitely miss Euro 2024 if the Italians make it. The Newcastle player will only be able to return to action in August next year, before the start of the new season.
It should be noted that Tonali is the second football player to be disqualified for illegal betting. Previously, Nicolo Fagioli was suspended for 7 months from Juventus.
We remind you that earlier Nicolo Zaniolo and Sandro Tonali were excluded from the Italian national team due to a betting scandal.
