Brentford striker Ivan Toney has pleaded guilty to breaking some of the 262 Football Association betting rules ahead of his appearance before a disciplinary panel.
The 26-year-old Toney, who was charged with 232 breaches in November and a further 30 in December, is potentially facing a lengthy ban.
It is understood he has admitted many of the offences but is contesting others.
The alleged breaches took place between 25 February 2017 and 23 January 2021, during which time Toney represented Scunthorpe United, Wigan Athletic, Peterborough United and Brentford.
The forward has scored 14 goals in 21 Premier League games this season, helping Brentford to ninth in the table and leaving them in contention for European qualification.
Toney made Gareth Southgate’s squad last autumn, though he was not in the 26-man party which travelled to the World Cup in Qatar.
