Newcastle United’s headlines while they await Tonali’s confirmation in the midst of a transfer dispute
The most recent Newcastle United headlines are all summarized here.
Despite an impending ban, Eddie Howe believes there is a “high chance” Sandro Tonali will play against Wolves.
According to Eddie Howe, Sandro Tonali’s Premier League matchup with Wolverhampton Wanderers is still “highly likely.”
The injured Italy midfielder observed yesterday as the Italian Football Federation informed the press that he will receive a 10-month ban for violations related to betting.
On the morning of the game’s eve, though, Newcastle had not received any confirmation despite a flurry of media surrounding an official declaration, as the situation descended into absurdity.
During his pre-game press conference, Howe stated:
Eddie Howe has stated that there was “absolutely no way” Newcastle United could have known about Sandro Tonali’s gambling problem before to signing the Italy international. Newcastle responded to Sandro Tonali’s due diligence comments with this statement.

As part of a winter transfer raid, Newcastle has previously been linked to Al-Hilal star Ruben Neves, with Sandro Tonali facing a 10-month ban. However, with Elliot Anderson expected to return from a back injury and Barnes expected to return from a toe injury, Howe anticipates his team to be completely shaken up by then.
Prior to the trip to Wolverhampton, Howe stated: “At this stage, I don’t have any plans for January (to provide to the media in time), but we
