Sandro Tonali will reportedly have his Newcastle salary suspended should he face a ban from football amidst an investigation into illegal gambling during his time at AC Milan.<\/p>\n
The \u00a352m summer signing is one more than 40 players included in the ongoing investigation, with Aston Villa’s Nicolo Zaniolo and Juventus midfielder Nicolo Fagioli also named.<\/p>\n
Fagioli was the first of the three Italy internationals to be sentenced, reaching a plea bargain with prosecutors last week that will see him banned from football for seven months.<\/p>\n
The ban is 12 months in total but five of those are suspended, with Fagioli ordered to have at least six months of treatment to cure his gambling habit. He was also fined \u00a310,850.<\/p>\n
It will end his season with Juventus but the punishment would be far less severe than a three-year sanction that is usually mandated as a minimum sanction for such an offence.<\/p>\n

Italian reports claim Newcastle would not be required to pay Sandro Tonali during any gambling suspension\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fellow Italy international Nicolo Fagioli was handed a seven-month ban as part of a plea bargain from the same investigation earlier this week\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tonali may also be required to train away from his Newcastle teammates if he is suspended<\/p>\n

However, according to a report from Italian publication La Gazzetta dello Sport, while Fagioli will still be paid his Juventus salary during his ban, Tonali may not receive the same treatment.<\/p>\n
The report states Newcastle will not be required to pay Tonali his \u00a37million salary plus bonuses during any suspension, and that the 23-year-old may be required to train away from his teammates.<\/p>\n
Brentford striker Ivan Toney was handed an 8-month ban for breaching FA betting rules in May\u00a0and for the first four months was not allowed to train alongside the rest of the Bees squad.<\/p>\n
Eddie Howe confirmed earlier this week that Tonali is available for Newcastle’s clash with Crystal Palace, but this could mark his final involvement for the Magpies this season with if he is sanctioned.<\/p>\n
Should the Brescia academy graduate receive a 12-month suspension he will also miss next summer’s European Championships in Germany, if Luciano Spalletti’s side qualify.<\/p>\n
