Sandro Tonali’s Shocking Return Date Revealed, And It’s Not What Magpies Fans Were Expecting
The uncertainty surrounding Sandro Tonali’s return to Newcastle United has finally come to an end, with the midfielder’s 10-month betting ban set to expire on August 28.
The Italian midfielder was banned by the FA for 10 months in October, with an additional two-month suspended sentence slapped on after he admitted to breaches of betting rules in May. As a result, he missed the remainder of the Premier League season last year and will be unavailable at the start of the current campaign.
Earlier reports suggested that Tonali would return to action from August 27, the date of Newcastle’s Carabao Cup clash against Nottingham Forest. However, some outlets indicated that he might not be eligible to play until August 29, citing the 10-month ban imposed by the FA.
Now, Newcastle United have put the confusion to rest, confirming that neither of these dates is accurate. And it seems, Magpies fans are about to get a treat.
The 24-year-old playmaker will be back in contention from August 28, just in time to face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. His presence is sure to boost the team’s morale and add a new dimension to their midfield.
The drama surrounding Tonali’s ban has left many scratching their heads. Did the FA go too far? Is the punishment unfair? One thing is for certain, Newcastle United are delighted to have the midfielder back on the pitch. We’ll have to wait and see if his return can propel the Magpies up the table.
