But when Tonali will return is not quite clear just yet as Newcastle have a Carabao Cup second-round match at Nottingham Forest that week which could be scheduled for either Tuesday or Wednesday evening.
Tonali would be ineligible to feature should the game be played on Tuesday but would be allowed if scheduled for Wednesday.
Tonali’s first Premier League match back will be Tottenham Hotspur at St James’ Park on September 1.
Recall that Tonali has been banned from football since October 2023 but has been able to continue training with the Newcastle first team.
He will miss Newcastle’s opening two Premier League fixtures against Southampton and AFC Bournemouth before being available to return against Spurs.
