Sandro Tonali
25-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tonali completed his first full year with Newcastle after he was suspended for most of his debut season, starting 28 of 36 appearances. He plays deepest of Newcastle's midfielders, which led to only four goals and two assists, but his upside was seen later in the season when he took set pieces. While that's not a certainty in the new season, there's a chance Tonali may have won the job and if that's the case, set pieces from a defensive midfielder gives you a little bit of everything in fantasy, something that could be useful later in drafts.
Returns to bench
Tonali (knock) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Burnley.
ANALYSIS
Tonali suffered a knock during the clash against Tottenham that left him dealing with a dead leg, now appears fit to play since he found a bench spot for Saturday's clash against the Clarets. While the Italian isn't fit to start the game or likely not being risked, he will still be available off bench for some minutes, depending on how the game unfolds.

Late call against Burnley
Tonali (knock) will be a late call for Saturday's clash against Burnley, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "He's had a scan and we don't think it's too bad. We'll give him every chance to declare himself fit. It was a knock very similar to the one Joelinton suffered, a dead leg type feeling. Sandro felt it was concerning enough to get scanned but we'll see how he is today and we'll give him every chance to be fit."
