Manchester United have suffered an injury blow in the first half of their Premier League clash with Chelsea at Old Trafford, with Antony being forced off the field in the 29th minute of the contest.
The Brazil international stayed down following a heavy challenge from Trevoh Chalobah in Chelsea's half of the field, and the attacker appeared to damage his ankle.
Antony managed to stand up after a period on the ground, and it did appear that he would be able to walk off, but the forward ultimately left the field on a stretcher, and his reaction suggested that it could be a long-term problem.
Man United will now assess the severity of the issue suffered by the recent arrival from Ajax, but it does appear that he will miss the team's final Premier League game of the season against Fulham on Sunday.
Antony's inclusion in the FA Cup final against Manchester City on June 3 is also now in severe doubt.
The 23-year-old has been a vital player for Erik ten Hag's side during the 2022-23 campaign, making 43 appearances in all competitions, scoring eight times and registering three assists in the process.
Casemiro's early header sees Man United lead Chelsea at Old Trafford, and a point would be enough to see the Red Devils secure a top-four position in the Premier League table. body check tags ::
