Antony with physical problems in crucial week for Betis

Antony suffered a muscular issue late in Betis's 5-2 win over Osasuna; medical tests scheduled Monday to determine severity ahead of Porto and Barcelona fixtures.

Real Betis star Antony ended Sunday's 5-2 victory over Osasuna with a muscular complaint after playing just over 20 minutes. Manager Manuel Pellegrini confirmed the issue was unrelated to the ankle problem that had sidelined him earlier. Medical tests are scheduled for Monday to establish whether Antony has sustained an injury or if it is merely precautionary. With Champions League and La Liga matches against Porto and Barcelona coming midweek and Saturday respectively, any significant injury could rule him out of multiple fixtures.
