LONDON (AP) — Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali was suspended for two months for breaching betting rules, the English Football Association said on Thursday.
Tonali is already serving a 10-month ban issued by the Italian federation for betting on teams he played for, which has ruled him out of action since October.
The FA said Tonali admitted to breaching its rules on 50 occasions by placing bets on matches last year from Aug. 12 to Oct. 12. He self-reported these breaches on Oct. 20 and admitted to betting on four Newcastle matches — three of which he was involved in — but always on his team to win.
An independent regulatory commission sanctioned 23-year-old Tonali with a two-month ban that was suspended until the end of next season “pending any further breaches” of the betting rules as well as a 20,000 pounds ($25,000) fine and warning.
