Antony to meet with police after returning to UK from Brazil

Manchester United winger Antony has returned to the UK from Brazil and is set to meet police over the multiple assault allegations that have been made against him.

Antony hasn't played for United since the 3-1 Premier League defeat to Arsenal at the start of September. He was dropped from Brazil's squad for their September internationals following the first set of allegations that came from former girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin and initially remained in Brazil.

Further assault allegations have since been made two other women, Rayssa de Freitas and Ingrid Lana, with the alleged incidents believed to have taken place in both the UK and Brazil.

90min can confirm that the 23-year-old is now back in Englad but remains on a leave of absence from United. He flew into the country on Tuesday and intends to cooperate with Greater Manchester Police (GMP) with regard to questioning, as well as hand over his mobile phone for inspection. He has already cooperated with police in Brazil, including a voluntary interview in June.

There have been no arrests and no charges made against Antony, who previously said of the allegations: "I want to reiterate my innocence of the things I have been accused of."

Antony’s transfer from Ajax to Manchester United last summer was worth a total of £86m, including add-ons attached to the deal. He has typically been Erik ten Hag's preferred starter on the right wing when fit and made 44 appearances across all comPetitions in 2022/23, scoring eight goals.

From a consistency standpoint, his performances have been increasingly criticised and the Brazilian wasn't perceived to have started the 2023/24 campaign well – with no goals or assists in four Games.

Joyce Tsang of Stone & Star on Self-Care and Setting Intentions for the New Year

Image
Joyce Tsang, the founder of Stone & Star, shares her self-care routine and tells Prestige why 2024 is the year of ceremony, celebration and new rituals. This year is an eight-year in astrology, which is all about abundance and expansion. There’s a shift happening this year that will never happen again in this lifetime and it’s Pluto moving into Aquarius. And if you subscribe to feng shui, all the masters will tell you we’re entering a new 20-year cycle. Either way, it’s almost like a rebirth for everyone. It also fits nicely with the Year of the Wood Dragon too, which is all about building a foundation and growth. This is the Year of Ceremony for me. There’s so much around this word, it could mean a public ceremony, like a marriage, or it could mean an inner ceremony and setting new rituals. The most important thing to remember this year is to treat life as sacred and to celebrate life and to embrace all the joys and magnificent experiences tha...

'Parrot fever' outbreak in 5 European countries kills 5 people

Image
An outbreak of a respiratory infection that most often affects birds has killed five people in Europe, the World Health Organization (WHO) warns. During 2023 and the start of 2024, Austria, Denmark, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands have reported an "unusual and unexpected increase" in cases of so-called parrot fever, beyond what's been seen in previous years, the WHO said in a statement Tuesday (March 5). In all, the illness has affected almost 90 people, with five deaths reported among them.  Parrot fever, or psittacosis , is caused by a species of bacteria called Chlamydia psittaci (also spelled Chlamydophila psittaci ) . The bacteria can infect many mammals — including dogs, cats and horses — but most often infects birds.  Humans can catch psittacosis by inhaling airborne particles containing C. psittaci , but human-to-human transmission of the disease is very rare , with only a handful of cases ever reported. Instead, most people develop psittacosi...

Untrained bystanders can administer drone-delivered naloxone, potentially saving lives of opioid overdose victims

An onlooker – even one without prior training – can successfully administer naloxone to an overdose victim within about a minute of a drone delivering the lifesaving opioid reversal agent. That’s the key finding of my team’s newly published study. Naloxone is also known by the name brand Narcan. The study involved 17 participants responding to a simulated overdose . Each simulation included an un trained participant who portrayed a bystander , a box of naloxone deliver ed by drone , a mannequin as the overdose victim , and a panicked observer. The latter added a sense of urgency by continually shouting at the bystander throughout the simulation. Via a video playing on a screen carried by the drone, the bystander received instructions on how to use the naloxone, which is administered as a nasal spray. We timed each participant on how long it took them to correctly give the medication during this crisis moment. Our trial revealed that the average time for someon...
