The 23-year-old midfielder is being investigated by Italian authorities.
Eddie Howe has insisted an “emotional” Sandro Tonali has a future at Newcastle as he awaits the outcome of an investigation into alleged betting breaches.
“We will support him and back him and we see him being part of our team for many years, and I know that’s the same back from his side to us.Howe added: “The most important part of this whole incident is Sandro and his welfare. It’s very easy for people to forget how young he is, the changes he’s had in his life coming from Italy to England.
“I have to say, he’s handled himself superbly well. He’s been obviously emotional, but handled himself with respect and dignity.” His agent Giuseppe Riso has claimed the player is dealing with a “gambling addiction” with reports from Italy suggesting he had bet on former club AC Milan winning games.
