What happened – Antony dropped from the national team squad

The 23-year-old attacker had been included in the Selecao squad to prepare for CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying games. Brazil is set to face Bolivia and Peru.

However, the official statement from the CBF could be read that the Man United’s star was dropped to be investigated.

The statement issued by the CBF read:

“Due to the facts that became public this Monday involving Manchester United player Antony, and which need to be investigated, and in order to safeguard the alleged victim, the player, the Brazilian team and the CBF, the organisation informs that the athlete has been withdrawn from the Brazilian team.”

Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus was called up as a replacement for his teammate.

Accusations from Antony’s ex-girlfriend

According to sources from England, allegations of domestic violence were first made against Antony in June by his ex-girlfriend, and further accusations from her were made public Monday.

Red Devils said they are aware of the decision taken by the CBF but declined to comment, while Antony denies any wrongdoing.

The allegations are under investigation in Brazil, and a complaint has also been made to police in Manchester.

Greater Manchester Police issued a statement Monday that read: “Greater Manchester Police is aware of the allegations made and enquiries remain ongoing to establish the circumstances surrounding this report.”

Rosilene Silva, the girlfriend of Manchester United star Antony, has been seen leaving their Cheshire mansion hours after Brazil axed the forward over allegations that he assaulted a former partner.

Antony’s ex-girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin claimed that the Man United forward attacked her while pregnant, damaged her breast implant, left her with cuts, and threatened to throw her out of a speeding car.

Antony’s reply

In response to the allegations, Antony posted on social media that he insisted the “accusations are false.”

“Out of respect for my fans, friends and family, I feel obligated to speak publicly about the false accusations I have been a victim of. From the beginning I have handled this issue seriously and with respect, providing the due clarifications to the police authority.

“The police inquest is under the cover of justice and therefore I cannot make its content public. However, I can say with confidence that the accusations are false and the evidence already produced and more to be produced show that I am innocent of the accusations made.”
