Sandro Tonali learned a valuable lesson, after the Newcastle United star was issued a 10 month ban for betting on soccer games while playing for AC Milan. His accomplice Juventus midfielder Nicolo Fagioli was also suspended for seven months.

Both Tonali and Fagioli admitted to signing up to a VIP site and placing their bets, which is in breach of their playing contracts as active professionals cannot place bets of any kind.
