United Team News Crystal Palace (EFL Cup): Antony, Rashford, Martinez
News broke yesterday that Antony will remain out of the Brazilian national team squad as selection has been made for the international competition period in October. The Manchester United striker has been banned from September’s internationals after further allegations of physical abuse were made against him.
As a result, United suspended Antony indefinitely.

One of the three women who accused Antonio of assault dropped the case and the player himself continues to maintain that he has not committed any wrongdoing.
However, the evidence against him remains strong and, given that he remains out of the Brazilian squad, it is clear that he will also remain suspended by United for the time being. The rest of the news from the Man United team
On Sunday it was reported that Marcus Rashford had a car accident as he left the Carrington Training Complex following the win at Burnley. His white Rolls-Royce collided with another vehicle and police were dispatched to the scene, but none of the people involved in the crash required medical attention.
Elsewhere, United have a large group of long-term injuries and none of them will return for the midweek cup match against Crystal Palace.
Lisandro Martinez
In fact, the fitness crisis is worsening with top-class centre-back Lisandro Martinez missing yesterday’s win at Burnley.
The Argentine’s specific problem has not been disclosed. Meanwhile, Mason Mount is doubtful here, he’s well behind schedule in his rehab and return. Mount was initially expected to be back for the first match after the international break in September. So much for that.
Additionally, Harry Maguire was missing again last night due to an unspecified injury/issue.
