Man United's Antony in line for Galatasaray return

Erik ten Hag has confirmed Antony is in consideration for Manchester United's Champions League match against Galatasaray.The 23-year-old was given a period of leave to deal with allegations of abuse against him and attended a voluntary interview with Greater Manchester Police last Thursday, having always denied the accusations.United confirmed the following day that Antony was able to resume training again and available for selection, with Ten Hag saying that the Brazil international could feature on Tuesday against the Turkish champions."Antony will be in consideration," the Dutchman said. "Yesterday was his first time back in team training, then we make a decision."Ten Hag also confirmed defender Lisandro Martinez has to undergo a second operation on a foot injury.Antony is back involved, but fellow attacker Jadon Sancho remains banished from a first-team squad beset by injuries.Full-backs Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Sergio Reguilon are out, while Amad Diallo and Kobbie Mainoo have been unable to feature this season.Now key centre-back Lisandro Martinez is facing up to three months on the sidelines.The Argentina international underwent surgery after sustaining a fractured metatarsal in April's Europa League quarter-final first leg against Sevilla.Martinez returned to action this term, but an aggravation of that foot injury means he again has to go under the knife at a key point of the season."I can confirm Licha Martinez will have to undergo surgery," Ten Hag said. "So, the team news is probably Antony dos Santos can return."United head into Tuesday's match in desperate need of a win, not only due to losing their Champions League opener 4-3 at Bayern Munich but because of Saturday's meek 1-0 loss
