Manchester United winger Antony is set to be questioned by Greater Manchester Police over allegations of domestic abuse after returning to the UK from Brazil.
The 23-year-old is said to be willing to hand over his mobile phone to police investigating the claims made by his ex-girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin, which he strongly denies.
Antony flew back to Manchester from Sao Paulo via Spain on Tuesday night, landing shortly before United kicked off their Carabao Cup third round tie against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.
Antony is said to have checked with the authorities in Sao Paulo that he was free to leave Brazil and return to Manchester after co-operating with police there.
Man United winger Antony will be questioned by police over domestic abuse allegations
Antony will answer questions over two incidents in a complaint made by Gabriela Cavallin
The 23-year-old gave a tearful television interview denying the allegations earlier this month
It’s understood that his lawyers have been in contact with GMP and Antony will attend a voluntary interview to answer questions over two specific incidents in the 42-page complaint made by Cavallin.
She alleges that the former Ajax winger, who joined United for £82m last year, attacked her at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Manchester on January 15, damaging one of her breast implants.
She also claims that Antony cut her finger to the bone in June when he threw a glass at her.
The player made an emotional TV appearance in his homeland earlier this month to deny the allegations from Cavallin that he attacked her on four occasions in total. A second woman, 33-year-old banker Ingrid Lana, has come forward with a similar accusation, which Antony also denies.
‘I know the truth and it will come out,’ he told Brazilian TV channel SBT. ‘I know many are butchering me, but the truth always comes out.
‘I’m 100 per cent sure I’ve never touched a woman, and I’ll come up with the evidence. I have never assaulted and I will never assault. I’m sure I’ve never committed physical violence. I have a mother, a sister, and I would never want this to happen to them.’
