The two players were first questioned by the police at the training center in Coverciana and then given permission by the national team to return home. “They are not fit to play. That’s why we allowed them to leave,” the Italian union said.
Newcastle midfielder Tonali and Aston Villa striker Zaniolo are the latest Italian footballers to face betting allegations in a short space of time. Already on Wednesday, the Turin prosecutor’s office began investigating Juventus midfielder Nicola Fagioli.
Football players in Italy are prohibited by the national association from betting on football matches, but they are not denied other bets. For violating the rules, they face a ban on activity for at least three years and a fine of at least 25,000 euros (about 617,000 crowns).
