Brentford boss Thomas Frank says they're standing by Ivan Toney after his eight-month playing ban.

Toney has been suspended for eight months over bets placed during his career.

"I've been in contact with him. He's disappointed and sad about the situation," said Frank.

"His future is with Brentford, there's no doubt about that.

"We are waiting for the information so we know what we can do. What he's allowed to do, especially for the first four months.

"One thing is for sure, we will do everything to be there for him, support him and be aware of the mental health in it.

"He's made some mistakes, but we need to be there, and want to be there, for him and help him. We just need to know what we are allowed to do."
