Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag insists Antony could recover to be available for the FA Cup final against Manchester City.
Antony sustained an ankle injury after a tackle by Trevoh Chalobah in United's 4-1 win over Chelsea on Thursday night and he was carried off on a stretcher in the 29th minute.
The 23-year-old arrived at Old Trafford for United's final Premier League game of the season on crutches but Ten Hag provided a positive update.

"We've all seen how he came off and didn't look great," Ten Hag told MUTV. "But the first assessment is not too bad and a good opportunity he is available for the Cup final next week."
United had been concerned it was a recurrence of an ankle injury that sidelined Antony for the remaining months of last season.
Antony started in the 6-3 defeat at Manchester City in October and scored United's first goal that day but he started on the bench for the reverse fixture in January. He emerged at half-time for the injured Anthony Martial.
Antony had started 13 of United's previous 14 games prior to the Fulham fixture and Alejandro Garnacho came in at his expense against Fulham.
