IVAN TONEY gave Gareth Southgate little excuse to leave him out of this afternoon's England squad announcement.
The Three Lions boss excluded Toney from his World Cup selection, but the Brentford goal machine has since taken his tally to 17 this season.
The striker has 232 betting charges dangling over his head from the FA, but Southgate has consistently insisted they will not influence his decision ahead of picking his squad for Euro 2024 qualifiers with Italy and Ukraine next week.
Only Erling Haaland and Harry Kane have notched more goals than Toney in the Premier League.
Regardless of a potential England trip to the continent, the Bees are on course to mount their own European tour.
They are eighth in the table and just a point behind Liverpool in sixth with sub-Yoane Wissa adding a cherry on the cake in stoppage-time.
