Erik ten Hag provides ominous Antony injury update after Man Utd star stretchered off

Erik ten Hag admits that Manchester United must wait 24 hours to learn how serious Antony 's injury is and whether he'll be able to feature in next week's huge FA Cup final.

The Brazilian, 23, went down in agony midway through the first half of the Red Devils' resounding 4-1 win against Chelsea on Thursday after a lunging but fair challenge by Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah. Antony was promptly stretchered off, as he burst into tears while being treated by medical staff and subbed off for Marcus Rashford.

United's grudge FA Cup final clash with treble-chasing rivals Manchester City is just around the corner and left-back Luke Shaw also came off at half-time on Thursday to put his own spot in doubt alongside Antony. Post-match, Red Devils boss Ten Hag was asked to provide and update on the injured duo and told Sky Sports : "It's difficult to say. Let's wait for 24 hours and then we'll know more."
