Ivan Toney to be assessed ahead of Crystal Palace

Brentford forward Ivan Toney is set to be assessed ahead of their fixture with Crystal Palace.

The 25-year-old was unable to play against Manchester City in midweek during the 2-0 defeat due to a calf problem, but the Bees are hopeful he will be available this afternoon.

So far this season the striker has been used 21 times in the Premier League, and he has found the back of the net six times, while he has also scored once in the EFL Cup and the FA Cup.

"Ivan Toney did some very light bits today and will be assessed in the morning. Hopefully, he is ready because he is one of our most important players," Thomas Frank told the press.

Brentford currently find themselves 14th in the Premier League table, just one place below their opponents today, and a victory could see them leapfrog the Eagles.

Toney last featured against Everton in the FA Cup where they were knocked out with a 4-1 defeat, with the striker getting himself on the scoresheet from the penalty spot.
