Newcastle manager Eddie Howe says he welcomes the Football Association's decision to suspend Sandro Tonali's two-month ban.
Tonali, 23, will return to playing at the end of August, if he does not commit further betting breaches before the end of next season.
The Italy midfielder is already serving a 10-month ban running until August for offences during his time in Italy.
"It was the right decision, I think, that the FA arrived at - that his ban is not extended," said Howe.
Tonali took a voluntary pay cut after his original ban was imposed.
