On Monday, the 23-year-old winger was accused by his ex-girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin of physical and psychological violence, facts which the player denied on social networks.
In newly revealed testimonies, Rayssa de Freitas, a law student, claims she had to be treated in hospital following an altercation with Antony. The argument reportedly took place in May last year. She claims to have been attacked by Antony and Mallu Ohana, the ex-wife of Brazilian player Dudu, in a car belonging to the Mancunian striker, leaving a nightclub in São Paulo.
The other testimony comes from a woman named Ingrid Lana, a 33-year-old banker. She claimed in an interview with Record TV in Brazil that Antony had been aggressive towards her in October: “He tried to have sex with me and I didn’t want to. He pushed me against the wall and I hit my head,” she told Brazilian television.
