The midfielder will be able to return on August 27 if he does not commit other violations during this time
Midfielder Newcastle Sandro Tonali disqualified for two months probation for breaches of FA rules regarding betting on football matches. The punishment was postponed until the end of the 2024/25 season.
Tonali reportedly made 50 bets on football matches between August 12 and October 12, 2023. Among them, there were bets involving Newcastle, in four of these games Sandro took the field.
Let us remember that in October 2023, Tonali was officially suspended from football for 10 months due to his participation in illegal betting. The midfielder placed bets on matches involving Milan, his former team.
Tonali’s ban applies to all official football competitions around the world under the auspices of FIFA. Thus, Sandro will be able to return to the field no earlier than August 27, 2024. He will miss not only the rest of the current season, but also the 2024 European Championship.
The new suspension has been postponed until the end of the 2024/25 season. Tonali will be able to return to the field on August 27, when his previous suspension ends, if he does not commit another offense before then. An additional two month suspension will take effect upon the player’s next offense during the probationary period.
Tonali moved from Milan to Newcastle in the summer of 2023. The transfer cost the English side over 60 million euros. Sandro has scored one goal in 12 matches for Soro this season.
Newcastle are seventh in the Premier League with 53 points. The Magpies next play Burnley on May 4.
