Eddie Howe believes Sandro Tonali is on a mission to repay Newcastle’s trust as the Italy midfielder prepares to return from a 10-month suspension at Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night.
Tonali’s ban for breaches of Italian betting regulations derailed Newcastle’s season and Howe is hoping the midfielder, the club’s marquee £53m signing from Milan last summer, will swiftly make up for lost time, starting with the Carabao Cup tie.
