Manchester United winger Antony is dealing with an injury after being stretchered off against Chelsea.

There is a real risk Antony ends up missing the FA Cup final after sustaining an injury against Chelsea.

The winger went down in a heap after trying to dribble between two Chelsea players and needed to be stretchered off.

The extent of his injury is yet to be made clear by the club, although manager Erik ten Hag ominously said after the game it was ‘serious’.

Antony reacts

Antony will be assessed by the Manchester United medical staff over the coming days.

Losing him for the cup final would be a disappointment, with his former Ajax teammate Lisandro Martinez already ruled out with a broken metatarsal.

Antony was wished to ‘recover well’ by the club’s official Instagram account.

He responded with a couple of emojis, which looked more hopeful than positive.

Antony also responded to a message from Jadon Sancho, to congratulate him on his display.

Sancho moved onto the right to replace Antony and did really well, showing United can make do without the Brazilian if need be, even though his absence would not be ideal.
