Brentford's Ivan Toney Returns: Leading Bees Against Nottingham Forest in Premier League Clash
Thomas Frank's Assurance and Ivan Toney's Comeback
Brentford's manager, Thomas Frank, has officially declared that Ivan Toney will lead the Bees in their upcoming Premier League showdown against Nottingham Forest.
As the Bees gear up to confront Nottingham Forest this Saturday, Frank expresses his delight at the return of their star player, Ivan Toney, who has successfully completed his suspension.
Recall that Toney faced a ban from sports activities due to a violation of FA betting rules. Admitting his struggle with gambling addiction, he not only incurred fines but also underwent rehabilitation as part of the consequences.
During the past few weeks, Toney has actively participated in behind closed doors matches for Brentford, diligently working on regaining his fitness.
In a pre-match statement, Thomas Frank not only confirmed Toney's starting position but also revealed that he would wear the captain's armband for the game.
Frank shared with the media, “Ivan Toney will start and he will also be our captain tomorrow.” This announcement signifies the significance of Toney's role in the team.
Despite being sought after by several Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, in need of a prolific goal scorer, Ivan Toney remains committed to Brentford. In the previous Premier League season, he concluded with an impressive tally of 20 goals for the club.
Reports suggest that Brentford will set a substantial fee, around £100 million, for any potential transfer involving Ivan Toney. Thomas Frank commended the player's dedication and expressed his eagerness to witness Toney's performance against Nottingham this weekend, stating, “He's like an eight-year-old boy who just wants to go out and play... pure joy of playing football.”
