Impact Antony is back in contention after overcoming the illness that forced his late withdrawal from Betis' squad for Wednesday's cup encounter. The Brazilian winger has returned to training with his teammates, indicating that he is no longer dealing with the viral infection and will be available for Sunday's La Liga clash against Malaga. His recovery provides Betis with an important attacking option ahead of a demanding schedule, which also includes a Champions League trip to Borussia Dortmund on Nov. 4. Jose Antonio Morante, Aitor Ruibal and Iker Losada remain alternatives in the attacking rotation, although Antony should be able to reclaim his usual starting role.

Dealing with viral illness Antony (illness) has been withdrawn from Real Betis' squad for Wednesday's Copa del Rey clash against Navalcarnero due to a viral infection, according to the club.

Impact Antony was initially included in Betis' squad for Wednesday's cup encounter but was ruled out at the last minute after developing a viral illness. The Brazilian winger had been unlikely to start given his heavy workload in recent weeks, although the match could have provided an opportunity to regain confidence following a dip in form. His absence could provide additional opportunities for Jose Antonio Morante, Aitor Ruibal and Iker Losada in the attacking rotation. His availability for Sunday's La Liga clash against Malaga remains uncertain, with Betis also facing a Champions League trip to Borussia Dortmund on Nov. 4.

Provides assist in comeback win Antony assisted once to go with four shots (zero on goal) and three chances created in Wednesday's 3-2 victory versus FC Porto.

Impact Antony recovered from recent muscular discomfort to start and play 89 minutes, providing the assist for Cucho Hernandez's second-half equalizer after beating his defender and delivering a cutback into the penalty area. The winger was consistently involved in Betis' attacking play, attempting four shots and creating three chances, while also striking the post shortly after Ez Abde's opener. He has now registered one assist, 10 shots attempted and six chances created across two Champions League appearances this season. The assist was his first goal contribution across all competitions this campaign, and his high attacking volume reinforces his importance on the right wing.

Available for Porto clash Antony (undisclosed) has been training with his teammates and will be available for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Porto, according to Deportes Sevilla.

Impact Antony experienced muscular discomfort after playing 17 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 5-2 victory over Osasuna, raising concerns about his availability for Wednesday's European matchup. However, the Brazilian winger has continued training with the team this week, suggesting the issue is not serious enough to keep him sidelined. Antony has yet to register a goal or assist across seven La Liga appearances this season but remains a key attacking option for Betis. With his fitness concerns seemingly behind him, he should be in contention to start on the right wing against Porto.

Returns to group training Monday Antony (undisclosed) trained with the group Monday and is expected to be available for Wednesday's Champions League match against Porto, according to Samuel Silva of ABC Sevilla.

Impact Antony experienced muscular discomfort after playing 17 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 5-2 La Liga victory over Osasuna, but the return to group training in the first session of the week is certainly an encouraging sign for the star winger. If he doesn't suffer any setback in the coming 24 hours and trains fully Tuesday, Antony is likely to start on the right side of Betis' attack Wednesday. Antony has yet to record a goal or assist across seven La Liga appearances this season.

Impact Antony entered Sunday's contest as a substitute after dealing with ankle discomfort leading up to the match, with manager Pellegrini opting to limit his playing time to allow additional recovery. However, the winger experienced a separate muscular issue during his cameo and was seen sitting on the pitch after the final whistle. He is expected to undergo medical examinations Monday to determine the severity of the setback, leaving his availability for two crucial upcoming fixtures uncertain. Antony has yet to record a goal or assist across seven La Liga appearances this season but remains an important attacking contributor, registering 32 shots, nine chances created and 13 crosses.

Fit for Osasuna clash Antony (undisclosed) has resumed full team training after working individually Wednesday and is an option for Sunday's La Liga clash against Osasuna, according to Alex Merida of De...

Impact Antony appears to have avoided a significant injury after taking a heavy challenge in Betis' final match before the international break, with his initial individual work seemingly a precautionary measure to avoid physical contact. The winger's return to full training puts him on track to retain his starting role on the right flank against Osasuna. Despite failing to record a goal or assist across seven La Liga appearances this season, Antony has remained heavily involved in the attack, registering 32 shots, eight chances created and 13 crosses.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Limited as precaution Antony is training separately from the group to avoid physical contact after taking a heavy challenge in Betis' final match before the international break, according to Zona Mixta.

Impact Antony's individual work appears to be precautionary rather than the result of a significant injury, with the club reportedly confident that he will be available for Sunday's clash against Osasuna. The winger has started regularly on the right side this season but remains without a goal or assist through seven La Liga appearances. He has still been heavily involved offensively, producing 32 shots, eight chances created and 13 crosses.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Struggling for end product Antony remains the undisputed starter on the right wing but has yet to record a goal or assist across seven La Liga appearances this season.

Impact Antony's lack of goal contributions contrasts with his significant attacking involvement, as he has attempted 32 shots while creating eight chances and delivering 13 crosses across his seven league appearances. His secure starting role should continue to provide him with opportunities to end that drought. Finding his first goal or assist could provide a confidence boost and help the winger translate his high attacking volume into more consistent end product.

SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Nine shots, no goal Antony registered nine shots (four on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Thursday's 1-0 win versus Getafe.

Impact Antony saw numerous chances at the net Thursday but failed to find the back of the net, notching nine shots (four on target).

However, he is yet to bag a goal contribution this season.

SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles to deliver offensively Antony registered four shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Tuesday's 1-0 victory over Valencia.

Impact Antony had volume but not efficiency in Tuesday's win, though he was ultimately bailed out by his teammates with a late goal. The forward should do better against Levante, a side which allowed 61 goals in LaLiga last season and has already conceded three times this year.

AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE

Five shots in opener Antony recorded five shots (two on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Friday's 1-0 victory against Real Sociedad.

Impact Antony put up five shots but only one was on frame, though it didn't cost Betis much as they still went on to win. The attacker should be a key figure in next year's Betis squad, though he won't partake in Brazil's 2026 World Cup campaign after being left out of the final team.

MAY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Three shots and five crosses in win Antony had three shots (zero on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Elche.

Impact The star winger was unable to find the back of the net or deliver an assist in this game, but he was one of the focal points on offense for the Verdiblancos. Antony should remain in the starting lineup in the final two games of the season, and he's had an impressive campaign with eight goals and six assists in 30 appearances (28 starts).

Takes seven shots, active display Antony recorded seven shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 1-1 draw against Real Madrid.

Impact Antony didn't find the back of the net in this draw, but he was a dangerous player throughout the game and deserved to find the back of the net at least once. The Brazilian remains a key player for Betis, and he's been a major threat in the final third for the Verdiblancos. He has 12 goal contributions (seven goals, five assists) in 27 league appearances this season.

APRIL 28 • ROTOWIRE

No longer banned Antony has completed his suspension match, so he'll be available for selection in future weeks.

Impact Antony's attacking talent will provide a boost to a side that deployed Pablo Fornals on the right wing in Tuesday's win over Girona. Having recently bounced back from an unproductive streak with his goal in the last Europa League match, Antony will now attempt to improve on his La Liga counts of seven goals and five assists across 26 appearances.

APRIL 21 • ROTOWIRE

Suspended one game Antony will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in La Liga.

Impact Antony picked up his fifth yellow card in La Liga play and will serve a one-match suspension for next Tuesday's matchup against Girona. The right winger has been a locked-in starter for Real Betis and has been dealing with some muscular issues tied to his pubalgia, so this suspension could actually come at the right time to get him some rest. In his absence, Aitor Ruibal is expected to step in and handle duties on the right flank.
