Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali has endured a "difficult couple of weeks" but could play against Crystal Palace on Saturday, says Eddie Howe.
Tonali is being investigated by the Italian Prosecutor's Office and the Italian football federation in relation to alleged illegal betting activity.
The Italy international, 23, joined Newcastle from AC Milan in July for £55m.
"He's very much available for selection," Howe said.
"He's had a very, very difficult couple of weeks, he's been dealing with a lot and, from what I can see, from a few hours a day, he's handling himself really well and is dealing with emotions incredibly strongly.
