Manchester United winger Antony has returned to training and is available for selection, the club has confirmed.
The Brazil international was given a leave of absence on September 10 after allegations of domestic abuse were made against him.
However, he returned to England earlier this week and attended a voluntary interview with Greater Manchester Police on Thursday.
Antony has always strongly denied the accusations and has cooperated with police inquiries in both Brazil and the UK.
In a statement, United said: “As Antony’s employer, Manchester United has decided that he will resume training at Carrington, and be available for selection, while police inquiries proceed. This will be kept under review pending further developments in the case.
“As a club we condemn acts of violence and abuse. We recognise the importance of safeguarding all those involved in this situation, and acknowledge the impact these allegations have on survivors of abuse.”
Antony is facing several accusations of physical aggression towards his former girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin, who spoke to Brazilian outlet UOL earlier this month.
The winger has denied those allegations, as well as further assault claims made by Rayssa de Freitas and Ingrid Lana.
He has not been arrested or charged in either Brazil or by Greater Manchester Police.
