The former AC Milan lynchpin is already serving a 10-month suspension after an investigation from Italian Prosecutor's Office and the Italian Football Federation into illegal gambling offences during his time in Italy.
Tonali admitted to having a gambling addiction as he was slapped with his 10-month penalty in October, which ruled him out for the remainder of the 2023-24 season and Italy's Euro 2024 campaign.
Five months into his existing ban, the FA announced that Tonali had been charged with another series of 50 betting offences, alleged to have taken place during his earliest days in a Newcastle shirt from 12 August and 12 October 2023.
The 23-year-old — who has been able to train with his Magpies teammates during his suspension — had until April 5 to respond to the charge, and Newcastle said in a statement that he had «self-declared» his indiscretions.

Tonali will therefore be free to resume competitive football from the start of the 2024-25 season if there are no more breaches of the FA betting rules, and Newcastle described the midfielder's level of assistance with the investigation as «extraordinary» as he continues to get help for his addiction.
