statement summer signing moved to St James&#8217; Park from the Milanese side ahead of the start of the season in a \u00a355million deal, but was banned from competitive ties at the end of October after he admitted to illegal gambling offences.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Whilst Tonali is permitted to continue training with Eddie Howe&#8217;s side, he will be unavailable for the remainder of the season whilst he serves his ban, which was tendered by the Italian Football Federation, and will receive treatment for a &#8216;gambling addiction&#8217; as part of the measures.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 23-year-old will also have to pay a \u00a310,000 fine, and after the ban has been served, involve himself with speaking to young footballers about the dangers of illegal gambling.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tonali&#8217;s national team-mate Nicolo Fagioli was also charged and handed a similar punishment &#8211; plus a seven-month ban &#8211; after he became the first footballer under investigation by the Italian authorities to speak to prosecutors and accept a plea bargain.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/13\/16\/78920629-12794813-image-a-2_1702484423829.jpg\" height=\"850\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Sandro Tonali took in the youth tie between Newcastle United and AC Milan on Wednesday\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/13\/16\/78920633-12794813-image-a-3_1702484434214.jpg\" height=\"393\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The 23-year-old is unable to feature in Wednesday evening&#8217;s senior meeting between the two teams as he serves his 10-month ban<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/13\/16\/78920635-12794813-image-a-1_1702484419053.jpg\" height=\"382\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Tonali is a self-proclaimed boyhood Milan fan and used the opportunity to catch up with his former club&#8217;s scouts<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>A boyhood Milan fan, Tonali joined the\u00a0Rossoneri first on loan in 2020 before his move was made permanent in 2021, and sat next to the club&#8217;s chief scout, Geoffrey Moncada at the tie at Whitley Park.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Newcastle&#8217;s Under-19 side pulled off an impressive 3-1 comeback performance against Milan&#8217;s Primavera side in their UEFA Youth Cup tie, sealing what Tyneside will hope is the first victory of two before the senior side meet at St James&#8217;

He has fallen within something delicate. We are close to him and I hope this experience can be useful for him. Can he bounce back?
