These are quite serious allegations against Toney, and he has until later this month to appeal the charge.
Brentford have released a statement in response to this news, stating that they remain in talks with Toney and his representatives over the matter, but with no further comment to come for the time being.
Brentford fans will hope this doesn’t have a negative effect on Toney’s performances, as his goals and skills up front look to be crucial for their hopes of establishing themselves as a secure mid-table side.
