Antony in doubt for FA Cup final
The Brazilian had to be subbed off after 29 minutes during United’s 4-1 win over Chelsea on Thursday, following a tackle from Trevoh Chalobah. Antony left the field in a stretcher, tears in his face, and it’s uncertain whether he’ll recover on time for the FA Cup final.

“I don’t know,” ten Hag said in regard to the extent of Antony’s injury, as quoted by the Manchester Evening News. “Everyone has seen he came off. I can tell you that it’s serious but we have to wait a minimum 24 hours and then we know probably more about the status of his injury.”
