Antony has taken to social media ahead of Manchester United’s Premier League clash with Chelsea on Sunday (4:30pm).

The 24-year-old has so far played no part in United’s recent clash with West Ham and Leicester City due to a sprained ankle. Antony was forced off on a stretcher in the closing stages of the 1-1 draw with Fenerbahce – just 16 minutes after being introduced from the bench.

He needed medics to come to his aid after going down on the pitch. The injury looked serious when the Brazilian was spotted leaving the stadium with a protective boot on his left leg.

“It’s really unlucky for him,” former United manager Erik ten Hag said at the time. “I feel real compassion for him, when he worked so hard in training. His training performances are that good that he deserved to come on. When you have to come off so quickly, that is really sad to see.”

Taking to Instagram ahead of Sunday’s game with Chelsea, Antony shared a picture of the outside of the Carrington training ground and wrote: “Good morning,” followed by a prayer emoji.

Whether the home clash against Enzo Maresca’s side comes too soon for the winger remains to be seen. But his post could suggest he carried out some work. The Ten Hag signing’s future at Old Trafford could be in doubt ahead of Ruben Amorim’s arrival.

United, meanwhile, have been dealing with an extensive injury list. Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Mason Mount, Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro, Kobbie Mainoo, Christian Eriksen and Toby Collyer have all been sidelined with injuries and it’s unclear whether any player will make their return against Chelsea.
