Brentford vs Nottingham: Ivan Toney Returns to Action for Brentford After Serving 8-Month Ban

Ivan Toney made his first appearance for Brentford in their Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest.

Ivan Toney, the 27-year-old striker, marked his comeback to the Brentford lineup in a Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest, following the completion of his 8-month ban due to a breach of FA betting rules.

Toney, who admitted to being addicted, not only faced a fine but also underwent therapy during his suspension. His return is anticipated to bring joy to Brentford's manager, Thomas Frank, particularly considering the striker's impressive record of scoring 20 goals in the previous season.

Brentford Lineup: Flekken; Collins, Mee, Pinnock; Roerslev, Janelt, Jensen, Damsgaard, Lewis-Potter; Maupay, Toney.

Despite Toney's ban, the English international attracted interest from various European clubs, with Arsenal being among those linked to him. However, Brentford has remained tight-lipped about the transfer fee for Toney, estimated to be around 100 million pounds.

Nottingham Lineup: Turner; Montiel, Omobamidele, Murillo, Tavares; Mangala, Danilo; Dominguez, Yates, Hudson-Odoi; Wood.
