News about Nicolo Zaniolo

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery and Lille boss Paulo Fonseca were both booked after a furious touchline row during their Europa Conference League clash on Thursday night.  The pair argued with one another late in the first half just seconds after Lille midfielder Benjamin Andre was shown a yellow card. It was the fourth booking of the half, with Nicolo Zaniolo, Emiliano Martinez and Nabil Bentaleb also cautioned, and Emery and Fonseca clearly had differing views on the decision.

KATHYRN BATTE AT THE LONDON STADIUM: David Moyes may have been a little sick of the handball rule. Two goals were disallowed against Aston Villa, with two penalties not given against Burnley and Freiburg last week. Officials couldn't determine if the ball had struck Tomas Soucek's arm before it bounced off Jarrod Bowen and into the net for what seemed to be a late West Ham winner for the longest VAR check in Premier League history.

After nearly three years as boss, the Portuguese coach was fired by the club last month, putting the team ninth in the Serie A table and in the middle of what had been a difficult season. Roma rushed to replace him, with former captain Daniele de Rossi - who has won all three games in charge so far - named interim boss just hours later. With Mourinho, who is currently looking for his 10th club to oversee at 61 years old, it appears the news didn't go down well.

MATT BARLOW, a BRAMALL LANE, MATT BARLOW: Unai Emery, a young boy, will be grateful if the haircut is spotless. Sheffield United's five-goal thrashing will bring about surgical precision. The midwinter that began against the same opponents is expected to end with surgical precision. Just seconds before Christmas, the Blades came within seconds of an unexpected victory at Villa Park. Nicolo Zaniolo was furious late in his first appearance from five Premier League games, but it would be the first of only five points from five games. It was a troubling loss of fluency for Emery's staff, which was aiming for the top-four. Had teams worked out a way to stop them? When they crashed against Newcastle on Tuesday, it seemed as if it was unbeaten home records.

Sheffield United are likely to be bottom of the Premier League going into Boxing Day, but the Blades are only marginal favourites over Luton, a relegation rival. Chris Wilder's side won 1-1 at in-form Aston Villa before Christmas, and barely beat them out a big win until Nicolo Zaniolo's heroic equalizer in the 97th minute at Villa Park. Luton won 1-0 thanks to Andros Townsend's first-half goal, which gave the team a vital three points against top four chasing Newcastle.

After being held to a frustrating 1-1 draw with struggling Sheffield United, Unai Emery's side lost out on the opportunity to rise to the top of the Premier League. Since former player Cameron Archer put the Blades up in the 87th minute, they did not seem to be in danger until Nicolo Zaniolo scored in the seventh minute of stoppage time to salvage a point.

After six separate checks in the game against Sheffield United, Unai Emery maintained that VAR was 'too much,' for his Villa team, with his Villa team losing the chance to advance to the top of the Premier League for the first time since 2011. 'Tonight, there was just too much VAR.' I accept VAR, but it was too much. It was not necessary for the goal. We can't accept this goal after Leon Bailey's goal was disallowed for a previous foul by Jacob Ramsey on Wes Foderingham, Villa rescued a point late thanks to Nicolo Zaniolo's header, which seemed to be assisting the Blades to their first away victory of the season.

After being held to a dramatic 1-1 draw by Sheffield United, Aston Villa did not make it to the Premier League's top spot ahead of Christmas. Unai Emery's side salvaged a last-gasp point thanks to Nicolo Zaniolo's spectacular header, with the midfielder advancing goalkeeper Wes Foderingham to a difficult cross. However, they were expected to suffer for a long time in the form of a stalemate. Cameron Archer, who matriculated through Villa Park's academy before leaving earlier this year, focuses on Gustavo Hamer's incredible comeback to touch home.

TOM COLLOMOSSE AT VILLA PARK: Unai Emery has always said he supports VAR, but after his team lost a chance to advance to the top of the table, his enthusiasm may be waning. Villa's decline from a shocking loss to a stunning defeat was aided by replacement Nicolo Zaniolo in the 98th minute, who sold to Blades for £18 million last summer. When Archer scored, he seemed briefly stunned. Villa didn't believe it, and even though Zaniolo saved them the worst, they lost the league for the first time since February, and their 15-match winning streak was snapped. Chris Wilder's Blades had success, and they leapt off the table where Manchester City and Arsenal had failed, and they'd improved.

Fans of Aston Villa's away trip to Bosnian side Zrinjski Mostar were reportedly coerced to cram into what seemed to be a cage on Thursday night. The Villans, who were unai Emery's high-flying Villans, were hoping to secure their position in the Europa Conference League group ahead of the match as they continue to enjoy a good season. They did exactly that, winning a 1-1 draw thanks to Nicolo Zaniolo's first goal for the club before Matija Malekinusic equalised late on.

Aston Villa put on a poor showing against Zrinjski Mostar that raised further concerns regarding Unai Emery's squad's depth for the remainder of the season. Although Unai Emery's men won the point and escaped the play-off round of the Europa Conference League in February, the manager would not have been satisfied with the result having made eight changes to his starting lineup. However, they are safely into the last 16. Just after the hour mark, Nicolo Zaniolo scored his first goal for Villa. However, Zrinjski had four great chances to equalize before Matija Malekinusic brought them level three minutes from fulltime with a spectacular attack. Following Valencia's 1-0 win over Arsenal last Saturday, only Ezri Konsa, Pau Torres, and Douglas Luiz all kept their positions in the team, leaving Villa just two points behind Premier League leader Liverpool. For Sunday's ride to Brentford, Emery is sure to recover his key men.

According to reports, AC Milan defender Alessandro Florenzi has been the latest Italian player to be investigated by authorities for suspected illegal gambling activities. Last month, Italian football was rocked by a controversy involving allegations of unlawful gambling, involving Sandro Tonali, Nicolo Fagioli, and Nicolo Zaniolo. Tonali and Fagioli have both been suspended for ten months and seven months respectively after serving out plea bargains with the FIGC, with Tonali reportedly refusing to wager on matches involving his former club AC Milan.

TOM COLLOMOSSE AT THE CITY GROUND: Unai Emery speculated that Nicolo Zaniolo is struggling to recover top form for Aston Villa in the aftermath of the illicit betting scandal that has seen two of his Italy teammates suspended from football. Zaniolo, a student at Villa from Galatasaray, says he has never bet on football, and his counsel Gianluca Tognozzi said earlier this month: 'It's likely that he played card games like poker and blackjack on unlawful websites, but he had no idea what they were.'

TOM COLLOMOSSE: On Friday, investigators interrogated Nicolo Zaniolo about the illicit betting controversy that has rocked Italian football. On Friday morning, the Aston Villa winger returned from the Netherlands with his club after their 4-1 victory over AZ Alkmaar in the Europa Conference League. Zaniolo says he has never bet on football, and his counsel Gianluca Tognozzi said earlier this month that it's likely that he played card games like poker and blackjack on illegal websites, but had no idea what they were.' We'll make it crystal clear.'

Sandro Tonali has been called on Newcastle's bench for their Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund, just a day before he was banned from football for ten months. Following a 0-0 draw with AC Milan and a thrilling 4-1 victory over PSG, the Magpies are hosting the German side at St James' Park, hoping to keep up their undefeated return to Europe's top club competition. Tonali was named in an investigation launched by the Italian Prosecutor's Office and the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) into allegations of illegal gambling earlier this month, with Newcastle confirming that the investigation into the midfielder was ongoing last week.

Since he reportedly agreed to betting on matches involving his former club AC Milan, the Newcastle midfielder is being investigated by the Italian Prosecutor's Office and the Italian Football Federation (FIGC). He is one of three players named in the investigation by the authorities, as well as Aston Villa's Nicolo Zaniolo and Nicolo Fagioli of Juventus, who has been suspended for seven months. According to Gazzetta, a verdict is close to being announced today and may be announced today. According to reports, the Italians' attorneys are seeking a 10-month suspension, which will see him miss the remainder of the season and the Euro 2024 championship, as well as the Euro 2024 championship, which means he will return around September next year.

In the second half of the game, Zaniolo came under fire from Nayef Aguerd, who was losing the ball with his team under pressure and leading. Referee David Coote called off the game, but Carragher, who appeared on Sky Sports' commentary, said that players are suffering from the injury because they know it will be stopped. Although games can continue if a player sustains an injury during play, play must be stopped immediately if a player suffers a blow to the head in order for them to reeive immediate medical care.

One of three players named in the probe by prosecutors, alongside Newcastle's Sandro Tonali and Nicolo Fagioli of Juventus, who have since been suspended for seven months, is on-loan Aston Villa. Zaniolo was assisting the probe and has been seen by senior club officials and had been training as normal, and he began playing in midfield against West Ham on Sunday.

Sandro Tonali's salary will be suspended if he is banned from football as a result of an investigation into illicit gambling during his time at AC Milan, according to reports. The £52 million summer signing is one of more than 40 people identified in the ongoing probe, with Aston Villa's Nicolo Zaniolo and Juventus midfielder Nicolo Fagioli among those named. Fagioli was the first of the three Italian nationals to be released after a plea agreement with prosecutors last week that would see him banned from football for seven months.

As part of a large probe into suspected illegal betting, Italian investigators are looking into Zaniolo and Newcastle actor Sandro Tonali. Zaniolo is aiding the probe, according to Aston Villa, who has met with senior club officials.

The Premier League has returned after a two-week international break that saw several countries secure their positions in Euro 2024. Tottenham Hotspur has been the surprise early season pacesetters at the top, with eight games remaining in the season, while Bournemouth and Southampton looking to fail at the bottom. The table will begin to shape in the next few months, and it seems that the forthcoming four weeks of action before the November international break will give a good idea of who is likely to be fighting for glory and which teams are preparing for a long and difficult relegation battle.

Juventus has pledged their support for midfielder Nicolo Fagioli who was banned from playing soccer for seven months for violating betting laws. This week, Fagioli's one-year ban was suspended and was fined €12,500 (£10,848), though he did commit to a six-month therapy program to solve his gambling addiction. Juventus said in a tweet on their official website that the club has noted the official press release from the FIGC (Italian Football Federation) and reiterates its complete support for Nicolo Fagioli in tackling this route, ensuring the player has the appropriate medical assistance in implementing the outlined therapeutic plan and, as specifically requested in the contract, collaborated with the Federation to outline the appointment dates.'

TOM COLLOMOSSE: Zaniolo has held talks with Villa officials and has resumed training, with Unai Emery preparing his team's return to Premier League action on Sunday after the international break. Sandro Tonali, a Newcastle midfielder, and Zaniolo and Newcastle left the Italy squad last week after investigators interviewed them at the team's training base near Florence, and neither of them appeared in Italy's Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and England. At a hearing in Turin on Tuesday, the Newcastle midfielder admitted to placing bets on former club AC Milan to win games and faces a long suspension.

Newcastle has reported that the Italian Prosecutor's Office and the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) is investigating Sandro Tonali amid allegations of unlawful gambling. Newcastle's summer signing is one of three players to be investigated by authorities, as well as Aston Villa's Nicolo Zaniolo and Nicolo Fagioli of Juventus, who have been banned for seven months. Since reportedly admitting to betting on matches involving his former club AC Milan, the Toon's £52 million summer deal could face a year-long suspension.
