Brentford boss Frank hopes Toney fit to face Everton

Brentford boss Thomas Frank hopes Ivan Toney will be fit to face Everton on Saturday.

The striker missed last week's win against Luton.

“[Toney] is progressing, it is better, and I hope he is available for Saturday," said Frank. “There is still one more training.

“Ivan just loves to play football. He just wants to get out there and play. All footballers have that same feeling, and of course the Euros are coming up and that's important. But he's also aware that it's important to be fit to go out and perform."

He also said of Everton's win against Liverpool: “I thought Everton were good. Very impressive.

Everton have been consistently quite good throughout the season.

“They are very good at defending and such a threat at set-pieces and on the counters. They bring great intensity into every game, so it's going to be difficult.

“I know Sean very well; I've met him quite a few times. He's a great person. He's a very experienced Premier League manager and he's done a top job."
