Missing World Cup, more painful than eight-month ban – Brentford’s Toney
Brentford and England striker Ivan Toney says missing the World Cup was a bigger blow than the eight-month ban he is serving for breaking betting rules. Toney, who admitted to 232 breaches of Football Association regulations, was charged in November and missed out on a place in Gareth Southgate’s squad for the 2022 World Cup.
