Manchester United winger Antony is losing his fight to be fit for Saturday's FA Cup final showdown.
The Brazilian winger suffered a leg injury half-an-hour into United's 4-1 win over Chelsea eight days ago and was carried from the pitch on a stretcher. Although United boss Erik ten Hag said at the time the injury looked “serious” there was optimism the £82milllon star would recover in time.
But Ten Hag has since confessed it is unlikely the 23-year-old will be fit to face United's local rivals Manchester City at Wembley. Asked about Antony's chance of playing, Ten Hag said: “It's unlikely. He does still have a chance, but a really small chance.
