Manchester United winger Antony has been pictured arriving at Carrington for the first time since taking a period of absence amid allegations of abuse against women.
The 23-year-old denies the claims and voluntarily agreed to meet with Greater Manchester Police [GMP] for questioning regarding allegations of abuse made by former partner Gabriela Cavallin.
Antony has returned to Carrington to train and could feature in Tuesday’s Champions League home tie against Galatasaray having missed United’s past four games. United confirmed in a statement on Friday that Antony is available for selection again given he has not been arrested, detained or charged with manager Erik ten Hag saying he believes the attacker is fit.

"As a club, we condemn acts of violence and abuse. We recognise the importance of safeguarding all those involved in this situation, and acknowledge the impact these allegations have on survivors of abuse."
