In the match against Crystal Palace, the midfielder who is being investigated for illegal betting, received all the warmth of the Magpies’ fans.
NEWCASTLE (England) – Sandro Tonali was on the bench at the start of the Premier League match between Newcastle and Crystal Palace, which could be his last one before a possible suspension due to the betting investigation.
After a tumultuous international break that saw the former Milan player become one of the suspects in the illegal betting case, the English club decided not to cast him aside, and the coach, Howe, has called him up for the league match even putting him on the field for more than 20 minutes.
Tonali, support from Newcastle fans
The coach of the English team, Eddie Howe, said yesterday that he did not rule out the possibility of using the midfielder despite the two difficult weeks he had gone through because he had managed to train well: “I will decide based on sporting aspects, making the best decision for the team’s benefit.”
The home fans expressed their support for the Italian player with chants and some banners in the stands at St. James Park.
