After leaving Serie A last summer, taking off the Milan shirt and putting on the Newcastle shirt, midfielder Sandro Tonali has been through the worst period of his career. Ten months of disqualification for violating betting rules, issued while he was playing in the Italian league. Today, August 27, a long period of inactivity imposed on him by the federation ends. “It will be an incredible release for him,” Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said today, on the eve of the English League Cup match against Nottingham Forest, for which Tonali is part of the squad. The former AC Milan midfielder did not take part in pre-match training, but “he will definitely be in the squad,” Howe promised. “He has worked incredibly hard to be in top physical shape. I imagine he is experiencing a range of emotions, with a lot of enthusiasm. When you have a lot of time off, you have a lot of time to think. Now he's back to doing what he loves.”
