News about Sandro Tonali

CRAIG HOPE AT GOODISON PARK: Everton consistently frustrated Newcastle to secure a point at Goodison Park on Sunday. The hosts thought they had taken the lead when Abdoulaye Doucoure rose high to head past Nick Pope but a subsequent VAR review saw the would-be opener ruled out. A moment of madness from James Tarkowski on Sandro Tonali offered the visitors a golden opportunity to take the lead from the penalty spot but Jordan Pickford dived well to deny Anthony Gordon.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST 1-1 NEWCASTLE UNITED (3-4 on pens) - CRAIG HOPE AT THE CITY GROUND: One year on from a Newcastle debut in which he played like a gladiator, Sandro Tonali picked up his sword and shield. His weaponry had been lowered, however, by the time his team picked up the fight and survived a penalty shootout to make the next round of the Carabao Cup. Eddie Howe thought he had made what would be the signing of the season when, on the opening day versus Aston Villa 12 months ago, the £52million midfielder scored after six minutes and played with machoism and majesty in a 5-1 win. Come October, a 10-month ban for illegal gambling had all but ruined the season. On the evidence of his comeback here, Tonali looks better than before, just as insiders had said he would be.

Sandro Tonali has been named in the starting XI for his first game back from a 10-match ban after betting breaches.  Newcastle travel to fellow Premier League side Nottingham Forest in the 8pm Carabao Cup second round kick-off on Wednesday night.  Starting from the outset at the City Ground, Wednesday night's clash will be Tonali's first appearance since last October for the Magpies. 

CRAIG HOPE: Sandro Tonali has revealed that talking to fellow gambling addicts on Tyneside helped him to remove 'an enormous block' - and says he now feels like a new signing for Newcastle United. The Italian will return from a 10-month ban for illegal betting at Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening. He has not played since October and had appeared just 12 times for the Magpies following his £52million move from AC Milan last July. Part of Tonali's rehabilitation involved meeting with others suffering from the same illness, and the 24-year-old said: 'Talking helps a lot. In the first three months, I met a lot of people with ordinary jobs, especially in Newcastle, who had this problem and had never spoken before now. They did so when my problem was made public. After this they decided to get help and stop bottling things up, and this made me very happy.

It was in May and by the shore of southern Italy's Adriatic Sea - far from the comfort of Milan and even further from Newcastle - that Sandro Tonali, as part of his gambling addiction rehab, spoke to students at a science school in Bari. His words belonged in more literary surrounds. 'Hiding behind the barriers of a problem is never the solution,' he said. 'You have to talk about it, instead. Get help. My true wealth is not the millionaire contracts, but being surrounded by people who love me and continue to show it to me every day.' On Tyneside, during a 10-month ban for illegal betting that expires on Tuesday, Tonali found that love. 

Despite the start of the Premier League 2024-25 season, several clubs are still keen to bolster their squad in order to achieve the best results possible. With only a week remaining in the summer transfer window, many fans are eagerly anticipating for that one signing that could help their side become invincible. In today's fast-paced technology landscape, clubs are increasingly turning to advanced tools such as AI, previously reported to be used by club chiefs such as Omar Berrada.

Sandro Tonali could return from his worldwide ban at Nottingham Forest after the date for Newcastle's Carabao Cup second-round tie at the City Ground was confirmed. The Magpies will head to Nottingham on Wednesday, August 28 with the game, which kicks off at 8pm, being broadcast live by Sky. Italy midfielder Tonali is serving a 10-month suspension after admitting breaching betting rules and has not played for the club he joined in a £55million switch from AC Milan in July last year since October.

MILES STARFORTH: There was a hush in the room when the midfielder (pictured) took the microphone - and made a vow of his own. Tonali, banned for breaches of betting rules while an AC Milan player, made it clear that this season was a fresh start for him. The room erupted when last summer's £52million signing finished his speech, and the reception clearly moved the 24-year-old Italy international, eligible to return to competitive football later this month.

Sandro Tonali will be ready to quickly move up the gears when he makes his Newcastle United comeback - after the 'low maintenance' midfielder put in the work during his long betting ban. Tonali was banned for 10 months late last year after illegal betting charges were brought by the Italian Football Federation. The Italy international, signed from AC Milan for £52million last summer, is eligible to play competitive football again from August 27, and the 24-year-old could make his Premier League comeback in the club's home game against Tottenham Hotspur on September 1.

Tonali will miss Newcastle's first two Premier League games of the new season due to his ban but he is already permitted to train with his team-mates. Newcastle's players are currently in Germany on a pre-season trip and Tonali was pictured on a bike ride close to the club's training base on Wednesday. Tonali was wearing a team training shirt and shorts but it was what was on his wrist that really stood out.

CRAIG HOPE: For two years now, those on the inside of Newcastle have repeatedly urged: 'PSR is real.' When they then spent £63million on Alexander Isak, £45million on Anthony Gordon and £52million on Sandro Tonali, you wondered if it was a phoney insistence designed to drive down asking prices and expectation. On Saturday afternoon, Profit and Sustainability Rules at Newcastle United felt very real. There was a £60million hole in the accounts, a possible 10-point deduction looming and 24 hours to solve it all before the PSR deadline of June 30. A transfer window within a transfer window, club chiefs are calling it.

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI IN DORTMUND: From the nation that brought us catenaccio, there has been a whiff of defensiveness about the Italians this week as they ponder their peculiar status at Euro 2024. When they launch their campaign against Albania in Dortmund on Saturday night, it will be from the somewhat jarring position of being defending champions of whom far less is expected than normal. If they are to find familiar comforts in this tournament, it will be as dark horses. That has certainly been the consensus view aimed at a young group featuring only nine survivors from the triumphant class of 2021 and which bears little resemblance to the squad that beat England in the final at Wembley.

CRAIG HOPE: After exceeding expectations to qualify for the Champions League in 2022-23, this season was a more trying one for Newcastle. They were booted out of the Champions League at the group stage, lost six Premier League games in seven over the winter period - 14 across the 38 games - and were knocked out of both cup competitions at the quarter-final stage. The Magpies struggled with an injury crisis during the season, and despite improving in the final months of the season, they missed out on Europe despite finishing seventh - after Manchester United kicked them out by winning the FA Cup.

Mark Bowen, Reading's Head of Football Operations, has been hit with an FA charge in relation to claims he placed 95 bets on football matches. The allegations, which relate to games unrelated to Reading's own fixtures, were spread across a period from April 2022 until January of this year. He has been charged with misconduct by English football's governing body, and could face a ban from the sport if he is found guilty.

Another Premier League campaign reached its climax on Sunday and quite a lot looks familiar. Manchester City are champions again, becoming the first team to win the English top-flight four times in a row, ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool. Meanwhile at the opposite end, the three clubs that came up - Sheffield United, Burnley and Luton Town - are the three going straight back down again. Following the season's conclusion, we grade all 20 clubs in our annual report cards, with part two covering Liverpool through to Wolves.

Eddie Howe has revealed that Sandro Tonali took a voluntary pay cut because he felt the 'guilt' of being banned so soon after joining Newcastle. The midfielder had made just 12 appearances following his £52million move from AC Milan when he was hit with a 10-month suspension for illegal gambling in Italy. Tonali continued betting on football as a Newcastle player and was this week given a suspended two-month ban by the Football Association. He will return to action at the end of August.

Sandro Tonali has been handed a two-month suspended ban and has been fined £20,000 after admitting to breaching betting rules. In March, Tonali was hit with 50 new allegations of betting on football matches after joining Newcastle.

CRAIG HOPE AT ST JAMES PARK: They may have saved it if they had not signed another midfielder, Kalvin Phillips. Both actors are making news. One for football betting and the other for betting on a West Ham career revival. Both of them are on to a good cause. The more Tonali is missing, the better a player he obviously becomes. The more Phillips plays, the worse it gets. Newcastle looked to the Manchester City outcast to fill the hole when they lost their £52 million marquee summer contract to a 10-month betting ban in October.

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: It's never so simple to be wise after the fact, which is why there's a clip of an unwise yellow card circulated on social media. Sandro Tonali picked up when the going was fine. It's a tumultuous scene - the fourth official begged him to hurry up and Elliot Anderson was set to come on. Tonali? He sat still for a moment or two and then stepped forward, then walked back to the sidelines, before turning back to the referee, Andy Madley. Why so hesitant and agitated? It was only him who knew, but it was quite odd at 5-1.

Sandro Tonali hasn't been playing for Newcastle since October and will not return until August, according to Notebook, but a former Serie A referee and AC Milan 'team boss' has remained on Tyneside to help the midfielder. Andrea Romeo's family has migrated to live close to the player, but he is not employed by the club, who have their own player liaison network.

Earlier this season, Sandro Tonali was charged by the Football Association for 50 offences of the organisation's betting laws. It comes after the Newcastle player was suspended from competitive football in Italy for breaking betting rules.
