Sandro Tonali has been banned from playing for 10 months due to his gambling scandal and this will certainly be very detrimental to Newcastle because his role is really needed to strengthen the midfield this season. Even though Newcastle are in their best performance, they have lost key players who were brought in from Milan last summer. On the other hand, it is possible that Sandro Tonali will get an additional month during his ban for the rehabilitation process. I think what Sandro Tonali has done can be a lesson for other players not to carry out similar activities and if this is the case, of course the club will be the one who suffers the most.
This must be a big shock for Newcastle. Because they spent 64 million euros for signing Tonali last summer. But now due to illegal betting he is going to miss every match remaining in this season. Moreover he will probably miss a few matches from next season too.
I must admit first that Tonali hasn't been performing very impressive. He has been quite average so far. However he has always been in the starting eleven except one match. Losing their expensive player like this must be really annoying for them now.
