England coach Gareth Southgate talks about how the betting ban affects Ivan Toney's Euro 2024 chances.
England head coach Gareth Southgate has confirmed that Toney is still in his plans and will be considered for Euro 2024, despite the ban that would see him miss a huge chunk of next season.
Toney is currently serving an eight months suspension as punishment for over 230 betting breaches.
This has seen him miss out on the England squad for the coming international matches, but the England boss insists the Brentford striker is still a member of the squad.

Brentford set to reward disgraced Ivan Toney new bumper deal despite 8 months ban
Ivan Toney has been given a lifeline by Brentford as the club as set to discuss a new contract with him in the summer despite his lengthy eight-month ban.
He explained that Toney is still in his plans, and although he admits the forward's suspension might affect his fitness, he will be considered for the team to represent England as they look to better their previous second-place finish in the next edition of the Euros, coming up in 2024.
"Without a doubt. It's not ideal because he is going to miss a large chunk of the season, and we don't know physically after that period out, how he is going to adapt and play,” Southgate said, per the BBC.
"It's possible for him. There would still be time and he's really impressed us with the way he's played. I like his personality, I like his belief and the way he goes about his job."
