Ivan Toney could make his Premier League comeback this Saturday.

Toney's suspension is over, and Brentford needs him.

The 8-month ban is now over, and Ivan Toney is ready to make his Premier League comeback this Saturday as Brentford faces Nottingham Forest. Brentford is currently experiencing a crisis in form, having lost 8 out of the last 10 matches in all competitions and remaining winless in the last 7 matches. After this poor run, Brentford finds themselves in the midst of the relegation battle, with only a 3-point cushion above the relegation zone. However, Brentford has a game in hand, and securing 3 points against Nottingham is crucial to avoid a deepening crisis.

Toney's comeback is like a gift from above, especially considering the significant offensive struggles Brentford has faced this season, being one of the lowest-scoring teams with only 26 goals. Ivan Toney is a goal-scoring machine, as demonstrated last season when he impressed with 20 Premier League goals. Despite rumors linking him to major clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea, a high price tag and a public statement from Toney expressing his commitment to help Brentford this season suggest that any potential transfer may not happen until at least the summer.

Toney has played a couple of reserve team matches, but he may not be physically ready for a full 90 minutes of Premier League football. It will be interesting to see whether Thomas Frank starts him or brings him on as a substitute. Brentford, in need of 3 points, might see Toney introduced early in the second half to potentially influence the outcome of the game.
