Newcastle United and Italian midfielder Sandro Tonali said that during his 10-month suspension for violating gambling rules, he was comforted by being able to help other problem gamblers.
Tonali transferred from AC Milan to Newcastle United in July 2023 for £55 million. In October last year, he was suspended by the Italian Football Federation for violating regulations in Serie A. The ban was approved by FIFA and applied globally.
The 24-year-old player will return to the field this week after serving his suspension...
In an interview with the club's TV channel, Tonali said, "Especially in the first three months, I met many people with ordinary jobs, especially in Newcastle, who faced the same issues and had never talked about it before."
