The Newcastle midfielder is already serving a 10-month ban for betting on games involving his own club while with Brescia and AC Milan.
The Football Association is investigating whether Sandro Tonali breached betting rules after he joined Newcastle.
The ban was subsequently ratified by FIFA after Tonali agreed a plea bargain as part of an investigation into illegal betting activity.The PA news agency understands the FA is now investigating whether he was involved in gambling on football following his move to England. “Our first thought was to protect our player, he is part of our family, and to give him the help and support he needed. We wanted to understand exactly what had happened and work transparently with the authorities.
“These things happen in football, but obviously when it happens in this context it’s not something you expect. For me, from the minute it happened, you look at yourself. “You have all seen the culture and cohesion in the group is extremely strong, and that’s not by chance.“We spend an immense amount of time looking at the character as well as the athlete. We have and will continue to review what we have done in the past and will do going forward.”
