Manager Eddie Howe hopes Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali avoids further consequences after being charged by the Football Association for alleged breaches of betting rules.
The 23-year-old is already serving a 10-month ban for breaching betting rules in Italy.
Tonali was charged with misconduct by the FA for alleged breaches of betting rules on Thursday.
"He has suffered during this period and he has sought help," Howe said.
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) handed Tonali a worldwide ban in October, with eight months of it commuted to "a therapeutic plan" to help "recovery from gambling addiction".
