Manchester United winger Antony was stretched off during the match against Chelsea and is more likely to miss the FA Cup final after Erik ten Hag claimed the injury was serious.
The Brazilian went down under the challenge of Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah. No foul was given after the tackle from Chalobah, and Manchester United players had to put the ball away for Antony to receive treatment.
Images showed that Antony was in considerable pain, and had to be replaced by the returning Marcus Rashford.
Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag will have a selection headache due to Antony’s injury.
It is a huge setback for the club because he is one of the best players there. However, the manager can start Jadon Sancho on the right wing in his absence.
It has been announced that Antony could be out for two months due to an ankle injury.
Antony was not the only player who was substituted due to injury. Luke Shaw was substituted for Tyrell Malacia in the second half as a result of a minor injury. However, there is no update on whether he will be available for the last match on May 28, 2023.
Manchester United defeated Chelsea 4-1 to move into third place in the Premier League, and they also qualified for the Champions League ahead of Liverpool.
Manchester United will play on May 28, 2023, against Fulham at Old Trafford. A win will secure third place, ahead of Newcastle in fourth place.
