The good news is that Antony will return to training. Antony has not been named as a suspect and has been arrested either in Britain or Brazil. Antony has provided some evidence to support his statement. But even though he is back with United after more than 4 weeks and has not played in 4 games, it seems that he will not play against Crystal Palace. Man United seem to need his manpower and the management continues to monitor the progress of the case.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66960103The news about Antony returning to training with the team is a welcomed one. The article stated he wasn’t placed on any restrictions after having spoken to the police about the allegations. It seemed the evidence he provided seems solid enough for the police at this point.
It also seems it’s enough for the club as he’s expected to be back training with the team. Although when he would be actually be on the squad for a game is yet unknown. Manchester United do need his presence and expertise in their games.
This is very good news for the Manchester United team in the midst of the problems that are currently happening in this team, but I don't think that Antony will immediately be played in Manchester United's match this weekend against Crystal Palace because he has just joined the team, it certainly takes time for him to able to adapt again after not being with this team for a long time, but even so, it cannot be denied that Antony's return will make a positive difference to the team.
