Ivan Toney has been removed from FIFA 23 after being banned from playing football until January 2024. The Brentford striker has been diagnosed with a gambling addiction, after he was charged by the FA with 262 breaches of their gambling rules. 

He pleaded guilty to 232 of them, while the remaining 30 were withdrawn. And in the fallout of the issue, he has been pulled from the video game as well. The ban was initially set for 12 months, but was reduced to 11 after he pleaded guilty. It was later reduced to eight months after he was diagnosed with a gambling addiction

This past season saw Ivan Toney score 20 goals, his best in the top flight as Brentford secured a top half finish. However, the Bees will be without their star player for half of next season. And it could be a significant blow for them unless they can find a suitable replacement for him.
