Manchester United will be able to count on Antony for the crucial Europa League second leg against Barcelona. The Brazilian striker missed the first leg and the last three Premier League games due to a muscle injury.

Manchester United trained at the Carrington training complex on Wednesday and Ten Hag was able to count on Antony, who will be in the squad to face Barcelona. However, they will be without Anthony Martial, who trained individually and will not play in the next game.

The Dutch manager confirmed at a press conference that the French striker will not be available for the Europa League match but Martial is slowly recovering.

Antony missed the first leg and the last three Premier League games due to a muscle injury but trained with his teammates as did Harry Maguire, who suffered a knee injury against Leicester last weekend.

United could not count on Christian Eriksen and Donny van de Beek, who are injured, as well as Martial.
