Photograph: Owen Humphreys/PA WireEddie Howe has revealed that Sandro Tonali is in “pain and distress” as the Italy midfielder faces the prospect of being banned from football for at least a year for contravening betting regulations.
“I see the person, I see the human, I see the pain and distress,” Howe said. “That’s why my thoughts are always with the player and making sure we look after him. Sandro loves the game and is absolutely devastated.Abandoned Belgium-Sweden Euro qualifier to count as 1-1 draw after shooting Asked whether the club’s board was taking advice from lawyers about possible redress for the fallout from offences that took place while Tonali was with AC Milan and Brescia, Howe replied that he was sure it would “do what it needs to do ... but I’m not party to those conversations”.
Howe straight-batted inquiries as to his presumed frustration that no one at St James’ Park had discovered that a player he admitted he was “delighted and surprised” Milan were willing to sell was a gambler. “That’s a very difficult one,” he said. “From our side Sandro is a top, top person and a top character.
