England and Brentford striker Ivan Toney has pleaded not guilty to an assault charge, with a trial scheduled for 2028, according to reports from the Associated Press.
The 28-year-old forward appeared in court on Thursday, October 29, 2026, to enter his plea. The assault allegation stems from an incident that reportedly occurred earlier this year. Details of the alleged incident have not been disclosed publicly.
Toney, who has represented England at international level, remains free on bail pending the trial. His club, Brentford, has not issued an official statement regarding the legal proceedings.
The trial date has been set for 2028, meaning the case could extend over several years. Toney's legal team has indicated they will vigorously defend the charges.
