Sandro Tonali was issued a 10-month suspension from football due to his involvement in wagering violations.

The Italian FA has confirmed that Sandro Tonali has been banned from football for a period of 10 months as a result of a betting examination, as per a variety of sports media reports.

Tonali, a Newcastle United midfielder and Italian national footballer, has been prohibited from participating in football for a period of 10 months. Additionally, he will be required to complete an additional eight months of rehabilitation activities.

Tonali was issued a suspension by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC).

Should Italy qualify for the 2024 Euros, the 23-year-old will not be eligible to participate until August, and as a result, he will not be involved.

The same betting investigation has also implicated other Italian players, including Nicolò Zalewski, Nicolò Zaniolo, and Nicolò Fagioli; however, not all of them have yet been sanctioned.

Fagioli was issued a seven-month suspension by the FIGC for betting violations earlier this month, which is comparable to Tonali's ban.

Up until this point, the athletes' repercussions were not disclosed. Will the other participants be subjected to the same punishment, or will they be disciplined in a manner that is unique to them?

The agreement will be forwarded to the Italian National Olympic Committee for approval prior to its international extension.

According to Gabriele Gravina, the President of the Italian Football Federation, an agreement has been reached between Sandro Tonali and the federal prosecutor, as reported by Sky Sports Italia. The plea agreement is for 18 months, with eight months designated for rehabilitation. This process entails therapeutic activities and a minimum of 16 public appearances.

"The rules stipulate a specific number of years of suspension; however, the plea bargain and extenuating circumstances have been considered, and the players' cooperation exceeded expectations. Consequently, we must continue to adhere to the rules we have established for ourselves."
