Brazil in another World Cup blow as Man Utd star Antony misses training through illness amid Neymar injury fears

Published on November 25, 2022 at 09:08 PM

BRAZIL have been dealt another blow after Antony missed training through illness.

The five-time winners are already sweating on the fitness of Neymar, who limped off against Serbia on Thursday after injuring his ankle.

Antony came on in the second half of Brazil’s win against Serbia

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.”;

But the South Americans have been handed another blow after a malaise forced Manchester United winger Antony to sit out training on Friday.

According to Isabelle Costa, Antony was one of four absent players.

Along with Neymar, West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta and Liverpool star Alisson Becker also missed out.

Antony’s setback comes less than 24 hours after making his World Cup debut in the Serbia win.

Strangely, it was the ex-Ajax star who replaced Neymar late in the game.

Brazil don’t play again until Monday, but they’ll need Antony available, especially with Neymar potentially missing out against Switzerland and Cameroon.

Regardless, Tito still has an abundance of wide options, with the likes of Rodrygo, Gabriell Martinelli and Flamengo’s Pedro all waiting in the wings.
