Eddie Howe had admitted the hardest part is yet to come for Sandro Tonali after watching him play a cameo role in Newcastle’s 4-0 Premier League victory over Crystal Palace promo
The 23-year-old Italy international, who could face a lengthy ban if he is found to have breached promo betting rules by an ongoing investigation in Italy, was applauded warmly by the Toon Army before, during and after Saturday’s game at St James’ Park promo
Tonali and his club do not yet know when he will discover his fate, but head coach Howe is convinced the support he has received to date will help him whatever comes his way promo
Howe said: “Let’s wait and see, but yes, I think the hardest part is ahead regardless of what happens promo
“Immediately, you get a lot of attention and people are talking about the situation promo
He’s had the love of the supporters today, but that’s difficult to maintain over a long period of time promo
Who knows what’s ahead?“I just think it’s great for him to know he’s got the support, not just of the senior management at the promo football club and the manager, but also the support of the supporters and they’re the most important people promo
”Tonali was introduced as a 69th-minute replacement for Bruno Guimaraes with the Magpies already four goals to the good in what could conceivably be his final game for several months if he is found to have broken the rules and is suspended promo
Whether he is able to be involved in Wednesday night’s Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund on Tyneside remains to be seen, but whichever team Howe sends out will kick off brimming with confidence after a comprehensive win over the Eagles promo
Jacob Murphy set the ball rolling with a fourth-minute lob which owed a great deal to good fortune – Palace boss Roy Hodgson described it as a “freak” goal – and further strikes from Anthony Gordon and Sean Longstaff before the break and Callum Wilson after it wrapped up the points with the minimum of fuss promo
Howe said: “It was a really important game today promo
It can’t be underestimated how tough those games are because you don’t have a full squad, we’re having to manage players who have travelled a long way and had a big mental load for their countries promo
“So I’m really pleased with the players’ response to that because these are very tough games promo
“Crystal Palace don’t concede many goals promo
We knew the first goal today was going to be really, really important and thankfully we got it quite early promo
”There's nothing really positive to say from our point of viewCrystal Palace boss Roy HodgsonHodgson’s emotions were understandably different after his best-laid plans were ripped apart before the break promo
He said: “We came here thinking and believing that we could give Newcastle a good game and maybe even make life a little bit difficult for them, but we fell woefully short in that department promo
“The first half was really nowhere near what we’ve been able to do up to now and what I thought we would still do despite the fact that this is a tough ask against such a good team because they are a hard team to defend against promo
“But it didn’t work out and at half-time, we were just looking really at salvaging something from the game and not going away totally and utterly dejected because we’d conceded even more goals than the four we conceded promo
“There’s nothing really positive to say from our point of view promo

First came the crack in Alexander Volkanovski‘s defence promo
Then, the crack in his voice promo
If the first crack was consequential, allowing Islam Makhachev to skim his shin off the Australian’s head, the latter was a consequence in itself – a consequence of one of the best fighters alive staying silent on his struggles with mental health promo
That is, until now promo
Volkanovski would have emerged from UFC 294 with credit anyway; he stepped in on 11 days’ notice and moved up in weight to challenge a man who had beaten him eight months prior promo
Even in this surprising, first-round defeat by Makhachev, Volkanovski lost very little promo
His featherweight title still rests firmly on his shoulder, and he will soon return to that weight class where he has been unbeatable promo
But soon may be too soon promo
In his post-fight press conference, Volkanovski began the dissection of this defeat – his second this year, but just his third as a professional mixed martial artist, with his first having occurred a long decade ago promo
The 35-year-old started to dissect the technical reasons for this knockout loss, but it soon became apparent what was of greater importance: the psychological reasons for his presence in Abu Dhabi promo
“He’s not somebody you should be taking a short-notice [fight] with, but I needed it,” Volkanovski began promo
“Obviously a lot of people will say it’s for the money and all that, but it was much more than that promo
It is hard, it is really hard for athletes promo
promo
promo
Sorry, um promo
promo
promo
I never thought I would struggle with it,” he continued, ignoring the blood over his eye, instead wiping a tear from beneath it promo
“But for some reason when I wasn’t fighting or in camp promo
promo
promo
F***, sorry,” he said, attempting a laugh, looking away and to the ceiling, then gently rapping his hand on the table to bring himself back into the room promo

I’ll be honest: I wasn’t training as much as I should have, but I thought I had to do it promo

”Makhachev consoles Volkanovski after their fight, the main event of UFC 294 (AP)Volkanovski pointed to the birth of his third child, in August, and surgery on an injury this summer as reasons why he had not been training promo
Clearly, the knock-on effect of those moments – as joyous as the former seemed to be – has led Volkanovski’s mental health to suffer promo
Last week, all the talk was of how brave the Australian was to face Makhachev on short notice; braver was this admission that he is struggling, which simultaneously offers a different lens through which to view his choice to fight promo
Keeping himself engaged and busy is healthy, but that is complicated by the inherent risk in his profession promo
“Maybe it was just a silly decision under the circumstances,” he admitted promo
Perhaps it was, though it was also understandable promo
Volkanovski’s next challenge, however, will come outside of the ring promo
It must promo
He naturally sees the antidote to his current struggles as a quick turnaround to fight again, likely against the dangerous Ilia Topuria in January promo
Yet, that fight could go the same way as Saturday’s against Makhachev, if the Australian does not first tackle these thoughts and feelings, and find the right balance for him promo
We knew Alexander Volkanovski was brave promo
That is even clearer now than it was last week promo
Now, however, he must be sensible, and get to work outside the ring before he can return to work in it promo
