Antony was dropped by Brazil for the current round of internationals after allegations of domestic abuse were made by his former girlfriend – prompting a police investigation to be opened.
Further allegations against the 23-year-old have been reported in the Brazilian media this week – during which Antony appeared on Brazilian TV to insist that he had "never attacked any woman", adding that "the truth will come out".
