In a recent development, Manchester United has confirmed that Brazilian winger Antony is back in training and available for selection, despite ongoing police inquiries related to allegations made against him in June.

Since the initial allegations surfaced, Antony has been actively cooperating with both Brazilian and UK authorities in their respective investigations. The club acknowledges his cooperation and has made the decision to allow him to resume training at Carrington, while keeping a close eye on the case’s developments.

A statement from Manchester United emphasized the club’s commitment to condemning acts of violence and abuse and stressed the importance of safeguarding all those involved in this situation, while also recognizing the impact these allegations can have on survivors of abuse.

In another setback for Manchester United, defender Lisandro Martinez will be sidelined for an extended period due to an aggravation of the foot injury he suffered back in April. The Argentinian defender experienced this setback during a recent Premier League match against Arsenal.

Furthermore, manager Mauricio Pochettino has addressed a situation involving young talent Madueke, who was filmed partying while injured. Pochettino expressed his disappointment, emphasizing that all players, as representatives of Chelsea, should avoid such situations. He stated that although it wasn’t a significant issue, it’s crucial to steer clear of such incidents.

On a somber note, Newcastle winger Harvey Barnes is set to be out of action until the new year due to a foot injury. A recent scan revealed the extent of the injury, and fans will have to wait until 2024 to see him back in action.

Finally, it’s a thrilling #PL matchday in the English Premier League, with some exciting fixtures on the horizon. Fans can look forward to matches such as Manchester City vs. Newcastle, Crystal Palace vs. Southampton, Arsenal vs. Wolverhampton, Sheffield United vs. Everton, and Aston Villa vs. Brighton.
