He joined Newcastle from Milan for £55m in July and the FA is investigating whether he was involved in betting on football following that move. Meanwhile, Magpies sporting director Dan Ashworth said he did not know if Milan were aware of the betting charges when they sold him. Though unable to play in any matches, Tonali can train alongside his Newcastle team-mates during his ban. "We've got quite a number of midfield players and players who can play in different positions," he said.
