MANCHESTER: Manchester United winger Antony is being assessed by doctors after injuring his left leg against Fenerbahce in the Europa League.
The Brazil international left the Ulker Stadium in Istanbul on crutches and wearing a protective boot Thursday night.
United manager Erik ten Hag said it would take 24 hours to fully assess the severity of the injury.
“It’s really unlucky for him,” Ten Hag said Friday. “I feel real compassion for him, when he worked so hard in training."
Anthony came on as a substitute in the 73rd minute of the 1-1 draw but left the field on a stretcher in the 89th after falling to the ground and holding his left leg.
The forward, who signed from Ajax in 2022 after United paid a transfer fee of $95 million, has made only one start and four substitute appearances this season.
United plays West Ham in the Premier League on Sunday when captain Bruno Fernandes will be available, having missed the Fenerbahce game through suspension.

Rory McIlroy wins seventh Race to Dubai title
- McIlroy moved past the legendary Spaniard Seve Ballesteros
- He is now one closer to Colin Montgomerie’s all-time record of eight Order of Merit titles
DUBAI: Rory McIlroy was on Sunday crowned the DP World Tour’s Race to Dubai champion for a seventh year, and four seasons in a row, but the world No.2 lost the $10 million Tour Championship to England’s Matt Fitzpatrick in the first playoff hole when he found the water with his tee shot.
At the Earth course of Jumeirah Golf Estates on Sunday, Fitzpatrick (66) made a birdie on the 72nd hole of regulation play to set the mark at 18-under par.
A few minutes later, McIlroy sensationally eagled the same hole after a brilliant second shot to 16 feet.
Four players — England’s Tommy Fleetwood (67) and Laurie Canter (67), Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg (66) and Denmark’s Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen (68) — were tied third at 17-under par total.
McIlroy moved past the legendary Spaniard Seve Ballesteros and is now one closer to Colin Montgomerie’s all-time record of eight Order of Merit titles.
It is Fitzpatrick’s third DP World Tour Championship title (2016 and 2020) and a 10th DP World Tour victory in 195 starts. The win is projected to lift him to No24 on the Official World Golf Ranking.
