Sandro Tonali was banned by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) on for a period of 10 months. He was involved in betting offences during his tenure at the Italian football club, AC Milan. This decision rocked Newcastle United‘s season, and has been a key factor behind their struggles. However according to reports Newcastle key player is back in the training and making big waves.
The FA handed Tonali a suspended two-month ban, as well as a £20,000 fine. That means he will be free to play again from August 27th.
At the beginning of next season, Tonali will be back. That is incredibly exciting, as fans really took to the midfielder during his formative months on Tyneside. On top of that, he has received so much support during his suspension.
Tonali’s performance in training shows he will be Newcastle key player
According to the Athletic, Newcastle insiders have been amazed by how good the Italy international has looked in training. They add that people inside the club are very excited for him to be available again, having used this layoff to improve athletically and work on what it takes to succeed in the Premier League.
Tonali will be back in August which is a good news for Newcastle. While he is a fan favourite, we only saw glimpses of his talent at the beginning of the season. He was exceptional on his debut against Aston Villa, but the rest of his appearances were nowhere near as straightforward. It was unclear what his role was, while it was evident that he would need a settling in period.
Newcastle United are currently on sixth place on the table. With European football in sight we can see them in better form next season. It will be a big season for Tonali as the youngster got alot to prove.
