Newcastle United midfielder, who was banned for 10 months for betting offences while playing in Italy, now has to face some more allegations

Newcastle United's Sandro Tonali has been hit with 50 new allegations of betting on football matches after his move to St. James' Park.

The Italy midfielder is already serving a 10-month ban, set to expire on August 27, having admitted to breaking gambling rules in his homeland.

However, Tonali could now face a further suspension after the Football Association's own investigation.

An FA statement read:

"Sandro Tonali has been charged with misconduct in relation to alleged breaches of the FA's Betting Rules.

"It's alleged that the Newcastle United midfielder breached FA Rule E8 50 times by placing bets on football matches between August 12 2023 and October 12 2023. Sandro Tonali has until April 5 2024 to respond."

Tonali joined the Magpies for £52m from AC Milan in July 2023.
