Real Betis Forward Antony will miss their La Liga collision with Real Madrid next weekend by suspension.
The Brazilian international is in excellent form for Los Verdiblancos after completing a loan movement from Manchester United at the end of January.
He looks like a player who has been completely transformed after the switch from Manchester to Andalucia at the beginning of 2025 with two goals and two assists so far for the Manuel Pellegrini team.
Speculation about his future is underway with his agent who offers an update about his plan to return to Old Trafford at the end of the current campaign.
However, he was shown a straight red card in real betis' 2-1 La Liga win at Getafe, after a bad challenge on Juan Iglesias.
Antony played an important role in the two goals of Real Betis in Madrid, but his late rush from blood to the head almost cost his team in the final phase, because both parties ended the game with ten players on the field.
The real Betis boss Pellegrini refused to comment on the full -time, but they could appeal the decision in the coming days, on the basis of the fact that he did not follow with excessive power on Iglesias.
Antony and Real Betis will now wait for the full report after the referee's game and a decision by La Liga about the details of his suspension.
There is a potential for a ban on three games, but he will miss at least one league match at this stage, which will come with Real Madrid in the home band of 1 March.
Real Betis lost 2-0 on the road in Madrid in September when the brace of Kylian Mbappe sealed the victory for the defending champion.
The previous three competition meetings have ended as draws and Los Verdiblancos have not lost at home since 2021 to the Carlo Ancelotti team.
