Antony, the Manchester United winger, could face being excluded from the Brazil squad due to allegations of a violent assault against his former partner, according to a report.
The Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) is set to discuss a player’s situation following allegations of assault made by his ex-partner.
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and coaching staff will determine whether or not to remove the player from the team, as they prepare for upcoming World Cup qualifying matches against Bolivia and Peru.
The individual known as Cavallin has filed complaints with the Sao Paulo police and Greater Manchester Police regarding an alleged attack, according to a statement given to UOL.
Antony was accused of multiple attacks on the victim between June 2022 and May 2023, including throwing a glass that caused visible bone damage on her finger.
In her account, she revealed a distressing incident where she was attacked by Antony while being pregnant. He allegedly threatened her, expressing intentions to harm them both and even suggested the idea of suicide.
“He said that if I didn’t stay with him, I wouldn’t stay with anyone. That I was pregnant with his child. Either I would stay with him or I, him and our son would die,” she said. “I told him I was pregnant, that he was scaring me, making my heart race. I was trembling with fear.”
Antony denied the accusations in June, when they first became public, saying on Instagram: “After submitting my statement at the police station where investigation involving my name is being conducted, I wanted to speak for the first time since I was falsely accused of assault.
“I stayed silent until the moment so that nothing could interfere with the investigation process, but during all those days my family and I suffered in silence. Despite being born and raised in a very needy community, I had never been through a situation similar to this, in which a false assault charge resulted in a preliminary and unfair public judgement on the part of some.
“After the closure of the investigation my innocence will be proven. [I am] certain that justice will prevail and the damage initially caused to my image will be in the past. Thank you to the countless messages of support at this very difficult time.”
