Man United include Antony in their Premier League squad 

Manchester United includes Antony in their 25-man Premier League squad as the forward stays away from the club on an indefinite leave of absence after assault allegations by three women. Antony, who has denied any wrongdoing, is facing claims of domestic abuse, with police investigations opened in Brazil and the UK. He has not been arrested or charged and has promised to 'come up with the evidence' to prove the truth. The winger was recently spotted near Sao Paulo, having flown to his homeland before being told he had been dropped for this month's international fixtures. He is expected to stay in the country as he looks to defend himself against the claims.  DJ and influencer Gabriela Cavallin has alleged the footballer, who joined United for £85million last summer, assaulted her four times, while bank worker Ingrid Lana claimed she was pushed up against a wall in Manchester last September.  Both women have given TV interviews over the past week and alleged they were assaulted. The third accuser was named in Brazil as Rayssa de Freitas, meanwhile. Posting the conversation on Instagram, he labelled his accuser 'a fraudster'. Lana hit back, however, labelling Antony a liar and claiming he had fabricated the messages. Antony, who delivered a TV interview of his own and has launched a staunch defence of himself, has insisted: 'I know the truth and it will come out.'On the subject of domestic violence, he said: 'It's totally wrong, 100 per cent wrong. I have a mother and a sister, and I would never want this to happen to them. However, he remains included in the 25-man squad for the first half of the Premier League season, with changes banned until January.
