Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali has been charged with misconduct in relation to alleged breaches of the Football Association’s betting rules.

Tonali is alleged to have breached an FA rule 50 times by betting on matches between August 12, 2023 and October 12, 2023.

The 23-year-old was signed by Newcastle for £55m last summer from AC Milan but in October he was hit with a ban for betting on matches while with Milan.

The ban means Tonali isn’t able to play competitive football again until August 2024, although he is free to train with Newcastle and play in friendlies. He will also be unable to play for Italy at this summer’s Euros.
