Antony had to stop the Premier League game with Chelsea early. With a 1-0 lead, Trevoh Chalobah made a hard foul on the Brazilian, who remained upset and was carried off the field on a stretcher. Manchester United will play the FA Cup final against Manchester City on Saturday and it remains to be seen whether Antony will be able to attend.
Mykhaylo Mudryk already had a great chance to score in the opening phase. The Ukrainian was found in a detached position in the penalty area, but completely missed the ball at the decisive moment. That came the Blues expensive, because the first chance on the other side of the field was immediately hit. A beautifully cut free kick from Christian Eriksen was promoted with the head to goal by Casemiro, who just missed doing it in an offside position. After long deliberation, the VAR allowed the goal to stand: 1-0.
In the 23rd minute of play things went wrong for Antony. Chaloba makes an apparently clean tackle on the edge of the sixteen-meter area on the wing attacker, who, however, remained shocked. Soon the medical team had to come to the rescue and worried teammates also gathered around Antony. He turned out to be unable to continue and left the field on a stretcher with his hands in front of his face. Marcus Rashford was his replacement.
