Why Manchester United star Antony missed training with Brazil on Friday
Manchester United star Antony missed training with Brazil on Friday due to illness, according to The Sun.
Antony was one of four Brazilian stars that missed training on Friday. Neymar, West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta and Liverpool star Alisson Becker also missed out.
Antony replaced Neymar in Brazil’s 2-0 victory over Serbia after the Paris Saint-Germain forward suffered an ankle injury.
The PSG star was reduced to tears after being on the recieving end of a poor tackle from Nikola Milenkovic.
According to Brazilian journalist Andres Onrubia Ramos, Neymar won’t miss the rest of the World Cup, but might not play again in the groups.
He said: “His participation in the World Cup is not in danger, although he may not return until the round of 16. Good news.”
