IVAN TONEY is facing a huge ban after being charged with 232 breaches of FA betting rules.
The news comes just days after the Brentford striker missed out on Gareth Southgate’s 26-man England World Cup squad.
SunSport revealed earlier this month that Toney was at the centre of a match-betting probe.
In a statement, the FA confirmed: “Ivan Toney has been charged with misconduct in relation to alleged breached of the FA’s betting rules.
“It is alleged that the Brentford FC forward breached FA Rule E8 232 times between 25 February 2017 and 23 January 2021.
“Ivan Toney has until Thursday 24 November 2022 to provide a response.”
Toney, 26, was in the England squad for their Nations League clashes with Italy and Germany in September, but did not make his Three Lions debut.
The forward has been in red hot form for Brentford this season.
He has bagged 10 goals in 14 Prem appearances for Thomas Frank’s side.
Toney, who has captained his club seven times this season, scored twice during his side’s stunning 2-1 win at Manchester City on Saturday.
