Manchester United winger Antony will return to training, the club have confirmed.
The Brazil international flew into the UK from his homeland this week and has spoken to Greater Manchester Police after three different women, including his former girlfriend, accused him of domestic abuse.
The 23-year-old denies any wrongdoing.
A United statement read: “Since allegations were first made in June, Antony has co-operated with police inquiries in both Brazil and the UK, and he continues to do so.
“As Antony’s employer, Manchester United has decided that he will resume training at Carrington, and be available for selection, while police inquiries proceed. This will be kept under review pending further developments in the case.
“As a club, we condemn acts of violence and abuse. We recognise the importance of safeguarding all those involved in this situation, and acknowledge the impact these allegations have on survivors of abuse.”
Given his recent absence, the former Ajax man will not be considered for Saturday’s Premier League game with Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.
