Sandro Tonali suffers NEW injury blow as Newcastle star left out of Italy squad
- On Sunday, Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali was withdrawn from the starting XI at Fulham just moments before kick-off after feeling a muscle issue in the warm-up, forcing Joe Willock into the midfield.
- Concerns over Tonali's fitness emerged after he suffered a hamstring injury against West Ham seven days earlier, though Head Coach Eddie Howe initially said the player would be available for Fulham.
- Newcastle fell to a 2-0 defeat without Tonali in midfield, with goals from Issa Diop and substitute Tom Cairney, while Howe noted the team looked disjointed due to limited selection choices.
- Tonali's omission from Italy's June friendlies against Luxembourg and Greece provides Newcastle crucial recovery time, with the midfielder set for a seven-week break before a July 13 return date.
- Multiple elite clubs including Arsenal, Manchester United, Real Madrid and PSG have been linked with Tonali this summer, though Newcastle's £86million asking price and CEO David Hopkinson's firm stance suggest the club will only sell on their terms.
