His selection for the World Cup previously drew widespread criticism. This choice surprised many, despite Toney playing his football in Saudi Arabia and plundering 42 goals last term.
Toney, who plays for Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli, has earned ten caps for England, scoring one international goal.
