On the evening of September 21, ahead of the fifth round of the Premier League match where Newcastle United will be the away team against Fulham, head coach Eddie Howe attended the pre-match press conference and responded to reporters’ questions about whether midfielder Tonali would start.
Eddie Howe said, “I think he is in a good position to compete, playing for the national team has been very helpful for him. Of course, he is still battling for a starting spot, but I hope everyone is competing for this position. He performed very well in the game against Wolves, but the competition in our midfield is very intense.”
Since Tonali’s return from suspension, the 24-year-old Italian midfielder has made a total of five appearances, three of which were for Newcastle, and two for the Italian national team, contributing one assist.
