Manchester United have announced the return of Antony is imminent as they decide he will resume training after tomorrows game against Palace.
Manchester United have released an official club statement to confirm that Brazilian winger Antony will be returning to training.
The statement explains that the club have decided that he will resume training and be available for selection following this.
Antony has been out since early September due to a legal matter in Brazil, before he returned to Manchester this week.
Despite his return coming imminently, it would be expected that he will require a week or so to get back up to speed and feature at Old Trafford.
As the fixture list starts to pile-up, Erik ten Hag needs all the names he can get.
With Facundo Pellistri being impressive but ultimately not trusted regularly, the return of the manager’s favoured option on the right will be positive for the team.
He returns as United face a difficult October with Champions League ties, Manchester City and Newcastle in the cup.
It is safe to assume though that Pellistri has established himself enough to be breathing down Antony’s neck upon his return.
Earlier this month there were over 10 players unavailable for selection by Ten Hag.
But after a string of injury returns including Mason Mount and Raphael Varane, things are looking up.
Kobbie Mainoo and Luke Shaw are also both expected back in October so the side suddenly doesn’t look so bare.
Ten Hag could soon have his strongest line-up available to him once more.
