IVAN TONEY has opened up on his football exile ahead of his impending Brentford return.
The 27-year-old is approaching the end of his eight-month suspension having admitted to more than 200 breaches of FA gambling rules last year.
His ban runs until a week today and he is set to play a part in Brentford's clash with Nottingham Forest on the following Saturday.
