Toney hit with FA bets rap

period up to January 23, 2021. The news comes just days after Toney was overlooked for the 26-man England squad, but boss Gareth Southgate insisted the betting probe had not affected his decision.

In March 2020, ex-liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge was banned from football for four months for breaching gambling rules.

Nine months later, England fullback Kieran Trippier (above) was also banned from all football-related activity and fined £70,000 over irregular betting patterns relating to his transfer from Tottenham to Atletico Madrid.

The FA said: “Ivan Toney has until Thursday, November 24 to provide a response.”
