Brentford boss Frank: Toney ready for full 90

Brentford boss Thomas Frank says Ivan Toney will start against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Toney is available after serving his betting ban this season.

Frank said: "He's bossing. He's like an eight-year old-boy, he just wants to go out and play. Just that pure joy of playing football. I'm looking into the eyes of a player who is very committed, very excited. He will start tomorrow, he will lead the team out, he'll be the captain. I'm pretty sure he'll be ready."

Asked if Toney is ready to play for 90 minutes, he continued: "I think so. You'll never know. There'll be extra adrenaline in him. He's always fighting hard for the team. It will be his first Premier League game but he's fit.

"The excitement and adrenaline will do the rest."
