Sandro Tonali ban ratified by FIFA
- Tonali banned for 10-months by FIGC
- Ban ratified by FIFA
- Suspension is underway
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) judged the 23-year-old international player guilty of breaking gambling regulations, and he was banned from all football-related activities for 10 months, as well as an additional eight months of therapy-assisted rehabilitation. FIFA has now ratified the suspension to be applied worldwide, as per The Athletic. The confirmation means Tonali will not be able to play for the Magpies on Saturday against Wolves as was hinted at by Newcastle manager Eddie Howe.
Thanks to his cooperation, Tonali’s potential three-year punishment was cut to ten months. Despite this, Tonali will still be absent for the remainder of the season and Euro 2024, if Italy qualify. The club and lawyers are presently discussing the potential of Tonali’s pay being reduced during the suspension.
Aston Villa’s Nicolo Zaniolo and Nicolo Fagioli of Juventus, are both being looked at in connection with the same case. After reaching a deal with the FIGC, Fagioli was banned from football for seven months.
