Manchester United star Antony explains why illness kept him out of Brazil training

Manchester United winger Antony says the air-conditioning in Qatar caused him to feel unwell, which forced him to miss Brazil training after Thursday’s 2-0 win over Serbia.

The attacker came on for the final 10 minutes in last week’s victory to make his World Cup bow but was unable to train the next day due to feeling ill, and subsequently missed a second session.

However, the 22-year-old recovered in time for Monday’s 1-0 triumph over Switzerland, coming off the bench for the final 17 minutes as United teammate Casemiro hit the winner seven minutes from time.
