Newcastle are seeking clarity over Sandro Tonali’s worldwide ban after a translation issue caused concerns over his eligibility to train with the first-team.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was confirmed last week that\u00a0Tonali had been banned from competitive football for ten months in a massive blow to Eddie Howe’s high-flying side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Initial reports suggested Tonali was at risk of a 12-month ban after claims he had bet on AC Milan matches while on their books, before his \u00a352million summer move to Newcastle.<\/p>\n
However, his admission of guilt and willingness to seek treatment for what his agent calls a \u2018gambling addiction\u2019 is believed to have helped him reduce the ban.<\/p>\n
As part of the reduced ban, the midfielder had been expected to be free to train with Newcastle during his suspension, however there are now doubts as to whether that is the case.<\/p>\n
