Howe’s supportive stance has been welcomed by The Big Step, a campaign group lobbying to end all gambling advertising and sponsorship in football which forms part of Gambling with Lives, a charity established by those bereaved by betting-related suicides. Although Portugal’s Neves is exceptionally talented, the former Wolves midfielder is perhaps not ideally suited to Newcastle’s aggressive pressing style. Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips, Manchester United’s Scott McTominay and Al-Hilal’s Rúben Neves are believed to be under consideration but the Manchester clubs are unlikely to be keen on loaning players to a key rival. Howe and his board are exploring the possibility of signing a replacement, ideally on loan, in January. Newcastle have declined to comment on the feasibility of taking unspecified legal action against Milan but that possibility appears to be receding, particularly as the Serie A club are adamant they knew nothing of Tonali’s gambling problem.

Club executives had been concerned that a player still adjusting to living in England and struggling to learn the language would be exiled from the club and end up returning to Italy for the duration of the suspension.

Should Italy qualify for Euro 2024, Tonali will also miss next summer’s tournament in Germany but Newcastle are relieved that he will be able to train with Howe’s squad during the ban. In July Eddie Howe, Newcastle’s manager, expressed “delight and surprise” that he had been able to sign Tonali for £55m but now he must cope without his marquee summer buy until late August next year. The Italy international admitted to placing bets on matches, including some in which he was involved for Milan.

The 23-year-old’s agent said his client has a gambling addiction and that Tonali cooperated fully with a wide ranging investigation into illegal betting orchestrated from Turin. In a statement Italy’s FA said: “The federal prosecutors office will ensure compliance.” Members of the Sports Betting Integrity Forum can be contacted directly by email or by using the contact us function.Should Tonali miss any of a series of engagements which may clash with club commitments, he faces being barred from playing for Newcastle for the entire 18 months.
