Brentford boss Frank explains holding back Toney

Brentford boss Thomas Frank explained holding back Ivan Toney for victory over Sheffield United.

Toney spent the 2-0 win on the bench.

Frank said afterwards: "I want him as fit as soon as possible and ready.

“It's always difficult. It's a very difficult decision to leave your best player out, but we need him to be in a very good fitness status.

“Luckily - and it's very good - that we could do it without him today.

“That means I'm convinced that he'll be in a good position for Luton."
