More trouble for Sandro Tonali after Newcastle star is alleged to have breached FA betting rules 50 times

Sandro Tonali is currently serving a 10-month ban for betting offences.

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 FA rule E8 50 times by betting on matches between August 12, 2023 and October 12, 2023.

The 23-year-old has until April 5 to respond.

In October last year, Tonali was suspended for 10 months, fined 20,000 euros and ordered to partake in an eight-month course of therapy to address his issues after reaching a plea bargain following an investigation into illegal betting conducted by the Italian Prosecutor’s Officer and the Italian Football Federation (FIGC).
