Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali has been handed a suspended two-month ban and fined £20,000 for breaching Football Association betting rules.

The FA announced on Thursday that an independent regulatory commission had imposed the sanction, which will be in force throughout the 2024-25 season, on the 23-year-old Italy international and warned him as to his future conduct after he had admitted 50 offences.
