Manchester United star Antony missed training with the Brazil squad on Friday through illness according to reports from their camp.
Brazilian journalist Isabelle Costa confirmed yesterday that the 22-year-old did not feature in training due to the illness and was missing alongside Neymar Jr, who is out for the rest of the group stages, West Ham's Lucas Paqueta and Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker. It is a setback for Antony though after he made his debut at the World Cup during a 2-0 victory over Serbia.
Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison scored a brace, including an acrobatic second goal, to seal the three points for the Samba Boys. United's winger did well when he replaced the injured Neymar in the latter stages of the contest in Lusail and he would have been hoping to replace the senior Brazilian forward in the next match.
