Roy Hodgson admits he “feels sorry” for Newcastle, who could lose summer signing Sandro Tonali to a lengthy ban as there is an ongoing investigation into alleged betting offences.
Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe confirmed on Friday that his midfielder, who signed for them in a £55million move from AC Milan this summer, would be available for Saturday’s contest, where injury-plaguedHe said: “It’s nothing to do with me. One way or the other, I feel sorry for him, I feel sorry for Newcastle facing this situation.
Plans are in place for the Premier League to withdraw gambling sponsorship from the front of teams’ matchday shirts from the start of the 2026-2027 season, though it is understood betting companies will still be allowed to advertise on sleeves. Hodgson said: “We know that gambling is a problem in our society, and we don’t really help it in sport because we promote betting.
Perhaps no one welcomed the international break as much as Hodgson, who had two more players, Jeffrey Schlupp and Jairo Riedewald, forced off in their goalless draw with Nottingham Forest last time out.
