Newcastle player back after 10 month ban for betting breaches

After serving a 10-month suspension from professional football for match-betting, Sandro Tonali is making a comeback to Newcastle United FC.

A few days before the Premier League season officially begins, the Italian midfielder is making his comeback to active duty, albeit Tonali won't be present for the team's opening match against Southampton.

Due to his cooperation with authorities, his lawyers were able to argue that the suspension should be reduced to 10 months, even though he could have faced a four-year ban.
