The Brentford striker was handed a ban that runs until January 16, 2024.
He finally made his debut in March 2023, when the Three Lions played their qualifying game against Ukraine where he featured for only nine minutes.
Brentford are currently ninth on the Premier League table but have a slim chance of making it through to the Europa League or the Conference League with two games left to play.

Brentford will be heading into the third season in the English topflight division as the club will be looking to make reinforcements for Toney who has 32 goals in the last two seasons with the Bees.
