England manager Gareth Southgate revealed he has spoken with Ivan Toney since his eight-month suspension from all football-related activity and insists the Brentford striker can still make his squad for the European Championships in 2024.
Southgate said he disagreed with the nature of the Toney’s ban, imposed by an independent regulatory commission after the 27-year-old admitted to 232 breaches of the Football Association’s betting rules, and was critical of the striker’s expulsion from the game until the final four months of his suspension.
