Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe has defended his player Sandro Tonali, who was banned for 10 months for betting.
- Sandro Tonali has been through enough lately. His illness didn't go away when he moved to England. And people should look at it that way, not put pressure on him and punish him, because it doesn't reflect the nature of the problem," said Eddie Gau.
As a reminder, in October 2023, Sandro Tonali received a 10-month ban for sports betting. In addition, Sandro was obliged to undergo treatment for gambling addiction for 8 months. The Italian also has to give 16 public speeches on the destructiveness of this problem.
