Following allegations of domestic violence towards his ex-partner, Brazilian winger Antony is now also sidelined at Manchester United after being ruled out for the Seleçao.
Following his “ejection” from the Brazilian national team over allegations of domestic violence, Brazilian winger Antony will now also not return to parent club Manchester United for an indefinite period. The English record champions announced in a terse press release on Sunday that the 23-year-old was “postponing his return until further notice to resolve the allegations”.
Back in June, Antony’s former partner Gabriela Cavallin made allegations in an interview with the portal UOL that the footballer had physically assaulted her on several occasions between June 2022 and May 2023.
In a recent statement, Antony denied all allegations against him, announcing that he would continue to cooperate with the authorities to prove his innocence;
In the wake of the announcement of the 23-year-old’s “time out”, the winger now renewed his promises via a statement on his Instagram channel. The Brazilian once again stressed his innocence and, in order to prove it, would “cooperate fully with the police to help them find out the truth”. Moreover, the release was a “consensual decision to avoid a distraction for my teammates and unnecessary controversy for the club”.
