Manchester United have placed winger Antony on a leave of absence as he faces abuse accusations from three women in Brazil.
"This was a mutual decision to avoid distraction to my teammates and unnecessary controversy for the club.
"I want to reiterate my innocence of the things I have been accused of, and I will fully cooperate with the police to help them reach the truth. I look forward to returning to play as soon as possible."Rayssa de Freitas reportedly claimed she needed hospital treatment after being assaulted by Antony and a woman in May last year.
Various outlets said Ms De Freitas reported the alleged incident to the Sao Paulo Civil Police, Sky Sports said. Another woman, Ingrid Lana, has claimed in a Brazilian TV interview she was pressured by Antony to have sex while on a business trip to England last year. Ms Lana alleged Antony invited her to his house and pushed her against a wall which led to her banging her head.
