Toney has been in Dubai during a break in the Premier League season and was filmed making a derogatry comment about his current employers, Brentford.

Toney issued a public apoology yesterday (January, 29). “I used language that was unacceptable,” Toney said. “The video was cut short and edited, but I have to accept the impact it has had. I have apologised to the manager and I now apologise to the club’s fans.”
