Yesterday it was announced that Nicolo Fagioli is under investigation for alleged illegal gambling activities.
There are suspicions that the Juventus player has bet on football matches. Fagioli risks a 3-year ban.
But Fagioli is not the only Italian footballer who is in dire straits. The Italian national team received investigators today who tested Sandro Tonali and Nicolò Zaniolo.
The Italian Football Federation confirmed that the duo had been interpellated and will allow them to return to their clubs Newcastle and Aston Villa.
The association did not want to go into detail about the investigation, but believes that the midfielders cannot play the European Championship qualifiers against Malta and England.
Italian media certainly do not believe in coincidence and link the duo to the gambling story, which could put another bomb under Italian football.
Tonali (23) moved from Milan to Newcastle last summer, while troubled Zaniolo (24) moved from Galatasaray to the Premier League at Aston Villa.
