Newcastle have confirmed midfielder Sandro Tonali is being investigated by the Italian Prosecutor's Office and Italian Football Federation for breaching betting rules. The 23-year-old Italy international was withdrawn from his country's Euro 2024 qualifying defeat to England at Wembley on Tuesday night and his club have released a statement to say he is co-operating with the enquiry.
Sky Sports News understands that at his hearing on Tuesday he admitted to betting on matches - both in which he played and did not play - for Milan to win. According to FIFA Code 26, conduct such as this can see players face up to a three-year ban from worldwide football. Tonali is likely to face a lesser, but still lengthy ban for his help with the investigation - and for admitting his guilt.
