Southgate expressed concern over Toney’s eight-month ban on gambling offenses, particularly regarding the striker’s well-being.
I talked to him. By the way, I don’t know if this is allowed,” the England manager said as Toney was suspended from all football-related activities.
“If not, they can ban me and not add to his. Look, it’s forbidden. It is what it is. I think he accepted the accepted punishment. What bothers me is that we have to look at people.
“Right now, what is he doing to get in shape? How can we give him a structure in the next few months where he can improve himself or eventually become a better person or have experiences he couldn’t have?
“I don’t like the idea of leaving someone alone so they’re not allowed to be a part of the football community. I don’t think we should work like this, I don’t think the best rehabilitation programs will work like that.
“But he knows we picked him because we thought he should be allowed to play until he’s offensive. If he plays well when he comes back, we’ll get him.
“It’s not going to have an impact, but I think it will have additional motivation from what he’s been through. I think he’s a tough guy with a great character and we’re here to support him.”
