Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali will be banned from football for 10 months over breaches of rules on betting on matches in Italy, the head of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) said on Thursday.

Italy midfielder Tonali, who joined Newcastle from AC Milan this year, must also attend treatment sessions for problem gamblers and give a series of talks about his experience over a further eight-month period as part of a deal with the FIGC.

The plea-bargain agreement, which is expected to apply to international football, was confirmed by FIGC President Gabriele Gravina. It will rule Tonali out for the remainder of the club season and next summer’s Euro 2024 tournament.

Tonali and his international teammate Nicolò Zaniolo were sent back to their respective clubs from Italy’s training camp on Oct. 12 after being notified by police of involvement in a betting investigation.

Both players featured in the Premier League last weekend with Tonali coming off the bench for Newcastle, while Zaniolo played 76 minutes for Aston Villa.

Tonali’s agent Giuseppe Riso said last week that the player is “fighting against a gambling addiction” and that he is “shocked, shaken and sad” as a consequence of his situation.
