Manchester United winger Anthony missed today’s training session before the Red Devils’ match with Real Betis on Thursday.
United will travel to Spain for the second leg of the 1/8 finals.
Erik Ten Hag’s players enjoy the privilege of a three-goal team lead after beating Betis in the first leg at Old Trafford last week.
Anthony himself got into the protocol, but, according to Manchester Evening News reporter Tyrone Marshall, the Brazilian was not present at training.
If Anthony is declared unavailable, it will be another serious blow to the selection for Ten Haga, who also lost Alejandro Garnacho.
Garnacho was injured on Sunday during a goalless draw with Southampton.
The young Argentine is expected to miss about six weeks.
As a result, Garnacho will also miss the international break with Argentina.
However, Ten Hag will be boosted by the return of Marcel Sabiter, Anthony Martial and Victor Lindelof, the news has been confirmed by the club’s official website.
Sabitzer has missed United’s last two games against Betis and Southampton.
With United already in control of the match, it remains to be seen whether Ten Hag will make massive changes and give some of his regular starting players a well-deserved rest.
A highly variable starting lineup could lead to Lindelof returning to the game, which could also be the case with Sabitzer and Martial.
In Sabitzer’s absence against the Saints, Bruno Fernandez had the opportunity to play a little deeper in the support zone next to Casemiro.
Fernandes played relatively well, but Casemiro’s red card in the first half made it impossible to see what the Portuguese are capable of in their new position.
With Sabitzer’s return, Fernandes can return to his favorite role.
