Newcastle United has officially announced that Sandro Tonali will be available for the team starting August 28, 2024, marking the end of his 10-month suspension imposed by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) for involvement in illegal betting.
Tonali, who has been sidelined since October 27, 2023, will finally return to action in the Premier League clash against Tottenham, scheduled for September 1 at St. James' Park. However, the Italian midfielder will miss the first two league matches against Southampton and Bournemouth and is unlikely to participate in the second round of the Carabao Cup if the game takes place before August 28.
Despite the suspension, Tonali has continued to train regularly with his teammates, maintaining excellent physical condition in anticipation of his return. The confirmation of Tonali's return date resolves the uncertainties that arose in recent months due to discrepancies between the initial communications from FIGC and the official FA documents.
