Antony - Page 8 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Back in training Antony (ankle) took part in training at the start of pre-season, Manchester United announced Friday.

Impact Antony was active in training to start the 2023-24 pre-season, after finishing the season on the sideline. The ankle injury that ruled Antony out of the FA Cup final wasn't expected to be serious and doesn't appear to have ruled Antony out long-term. Antony will hope for a significant bump in production during his second season with The Red Devils.

Scores four goals in 2022-23 Antony recorded four goals, two assists, 72 shots (24 on target), 28 chances created, 32 crosses (three accurate), 22 tackles and 11 interceptions across 25 appearances (23 starts)...

Impact Antony was the most prominent summer signing for Manchester United, and while he showed flashes of brilliance from time to time, he was also very inconsistent. The Brazilian had some efficiency and accuracy issues, particularly in the final third and with the end product, and that was reflected in his low scoring totals in both competitions. Manager Erik ten Hag trusts him, however, so there's a chance he might remain as a regular starter in 2023-24 as well.

Misses Cup final Antony wasn't an option for Saturday's FA Cup final against Manchester City due to his ankle injury.

Impact Antony was always a doubt for the FA Cup final, as he suffered the injury less than two weeks prior. Injury or not, Antony had a serviceable first campaign in the Premier League, receiving consistent starts on the right wing. While the numbers weren't there with four goals and two assists in 25 league appearances (23 starts), that figures to change once he gets more comfortable with teammates and in the league.

Unlikely for final Antony (ankle) has a chance for Saturday's FA Cup final against Manchester City, but it's "unlikely," according to manager Erik ten Hag. "He didn't make the progress. So, what I sa...

Impact Ten Hag always seemed a bit too optimistic with his original comments on Antony's injury, as early reports suggested he'd be out closer to two months. He suffered this injury May 25 and unless United push him into the squad, there's no reason for him to be an option against City unless he's truly ready to go. At best, he'll be on the bench and may not even be called upon if that's the case.

Suffers ankle injury Antony appears to have reinjured the same ankle that previously sidelined him for two months back in 2022, per BBC Sports on Friday.

Impact Antony was forced off after just 29 minutes against Chelsea on Thursday and now could be facing an extended recovery timeline. At this point, fantasy players shouldn't be expecting him back again this season, including the FA Cup Final versus Manchester City on June 3. During the 2022-23 campaign, Antony made 25 Premier League appearances (23 starts) for the club in which he registered four goals on 72 shots (24 on target), two assists and 32 crosses (three accurate). The forward added two more goals in nine Europa League matches as well.

Stretchered off Thursday Antony was taken off the pitch on a stretcher against Chelsea on Thursday with an apparent lower-leg injury.

Impact Antony won't have much time to get healthy ahead of Sunday's clash with Fulham, though it's possible that match won't have any impact on United's season. Still, the forward likely would have been featured in the starting XI for the FA Cup Final on June 3 against rivals Manchester City. If this does end Antony's season, he will finish having logged 25 Premier League contests (23 starts) in which he tallied four goals on 72 shots (24 accurate), two assists and 32 crosses (three accurate). If Antony can't play Sunday, Marcus Rashford would almost certainly take his place in the starting XI after having missed the last two matches with a leg injury of his own.

But only two of those 13 shots have been on target, exemplified by a wide-open header that he skied over the bar in this game as well.

His goal came first, as he poached the ball into the back of the net in the 32nd minute, and then his through ball found Diogo Dalot in the 76th minute for the 2-0 lead. He took a season high seven shots (one on target), created one chance, whipped in two crosses and helped his team keep a clean sheet in his 90 minutes of action.
