London, Aug 18 (AP) England striker Ivan Toney was left out of Brentford's squad for its season opener against Crystal Palace on Sunday, with manager Thomas Frank hinting that the forward could be sold this transfer window.

Toney missed much of last season because of an eight-month ban for breaching betting rules but has been linked with several top Premier League clubs this off-season.
“There's some transfer interest. Because of all that we've decided not to involve him in the squad," Frank said.
“I can't give too much away the day before. Of course, Ivan is a top player, we all know that. He's been fantastic for us over the four years but we've also shown, especially last year, that we can deal without him.”
However, defender Marc Guehi was in Palace's starting line-up despite Newcastle United reportedly pursuing a deal for the England international. (AP)
