Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali has been charged with misconduct relating to alleged breaches of the Football Association’s betting rules.
The English Football Association has announced that Sandro Tonali has been charged with breaking their betting rules. Newcastle midfielder has until April 5 to respond to the charges.
“It’s alleged that the Newcastle United midfielder breached FA Rule E8 50 times by placing bets on football matches between 12 August 2023 and 12 October 2023,” the FA said in a statement.
