  WHAT HAPPENED?

  It has been confirmed by the Red Devils that Antony sprained his ankle during the Fenerbahce game, which has ruled him out of having any involvement during Sunday's Premier League clash with West Ham. Unsurprisingly, he took no part in training on Saturday ahead of the game.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Antony left Fenerbahce's Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on crutches on Thursday night, with his left ankle in a protective boot. Erik ten Hag initially said that United would have to wait around 24 hours for medical tests to be carried out, which clearly now have been. The Brazilian was only brought off the bench in the final 20 minutes of the 1-1 draw but had to be replaced himself after only 17 minutes on the pitch.

• WHAT MAN UTD SAID

  An update from the club early on Saturday evening explained: "Erik ten Hag's side will face West Ham without Antony, who was missing from Saturday's training session due to an ankle sprain he picked up in the closing stages of the game against Fenerbahce."

  United have not set a timeframe for Antony's recovery other than he will be absent against West Ham. Sprains typically take between two and six weeks to heal, although it can be longer in severe cases.
