Newcastle boss Eddie Howe says Sandro Tonali is in his squad for tomorrow's clash against Crystal Palace.
Tonali is back in training today at Benton after his betting hearing in Italy this week.
Howe said: "He is very much with us. He trained twice this week; he is available for selection.
"Like I do with all the players, I will analyse their training performances, how they look and feel. Sandro has trained well with us.
"He's had a very difficult couple of weeks; he's been dealing with a lot and from what I can see he's handling himself and his emotions strongly.
"Underneath that I'm sure there is lots going on. I'll have to make a call but I have to bring it back to football and try to make the best decision for the team."
On support for Tonali, he added: "For me it's absolutely crucial. The most important part of the whole incident is Sandro and his welfare. It's very easy to forget how young he is. He's had changes in his life - coming from Italy to England. That is hard enough to deal with and now he has this situation.
"As a football club, straight away we will throw our arms around him, protect him, try to give him the love and support he needs to find solutions to problems he's had.
"[That's] what we're endeavouring to do with a lot of conversations, a lot of communication with him and his family. Not just with Sandro, talking to people around him will be so important."
