Antony’s potential return from injury for Saturday’s FA Cup final comes as an unexpected, and probably optimistic, update.
The Brazilian needed crutches to walk himself into Old Trafford on Sunday after suffering a nasty-looking ankle problem inside half-an-hour of Thursday’s 4-1 win over Chelsea, having to be carried off on a stretcher.
His absence would be a blow and it seems reasonable to assume that even if fit, the winger will not be starting at Wembley against Manchester City, a team he has already scored against this season.
