Manchester United forward Antony has once again taken to social media to refute allegations made by his former girlfriend, Gabriela Cavallin, accusing him of domestic assault. This has resulted in his exclusion from the Brazil squad.
On Monday, Brazilian media outlet UOL reported fresh allegations made by Cavallin. In response, Antony released a statement on Instagram, affirming that he was falsely accused of committing domestic violence.
Amidst these additional claims, Antony expressed his confidence in ongoing police investigations to uncover the truth regarding his innocence. The player is fully cooperating with the authorities.
Manchester United has refrained from commenting on the recent allegations and referred to Antony’s initial statement on June 28. However, the club stands by its player, showing support during this challenging period.
Antony took to social media once again to reiterate his innocence. In his latest statement, he stated, “The accusations against me are false, and the evidence presented thus far demonstrates my innocence. While my relationship with Ms. Gabriela was tumultuous, characterized by verbal exchanges, I never resorted to physical aggression.”
The player remains hopeful that the ongoing police investigations will conclusively prove his innocence. Antony trusts in the legal process to reveal the truth behind the allegations.
Subsequently, the Brazilian Football Association announced on Monday evening that Antony would be withdrawn from the national squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Bolivia and Peru. He was replaced by Gabriel Jesus.
On Tuesday morning, Greater Manchester Police issued a statement confirming awareness of the allegations and stating that inquiries are still ongoing to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the report. No further comments will be provided at this time.
