Erik ten Hag has confirmed Antony is in consideration for Manchester United's Champions League match against Galatasaray.
The 23-year-old was given a period of leave to deal with allegations of abuse against him and attended a voluntary interview with Greater Manchester Police last Thursday, having always denied the accusations.
United confirmed the following day that Antony was able to resume training again and available for selection, with Ten Hag saying that the Brazil international could feature on Tuesday against the Turkish champions.
"Antony will be in consideration," the Dutchman said. "Yesterday was his first time back in team training, then we make a decision."
Ten Hag also confirmed defender Lisandro Martinez has to undergo a second operation on a foot injury.
Antony is back involved, but fellow attacker Jadon Sancho remains banished from a first-team squad beset by injuries.
Full-backs Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Sergio Reguilon are out, while Amad Diallo and Kobbie Mainoo have been unable to feature this season.
Now key centre-back Lisandro Martinez is facing up to three months on the sidelines.
The Argentina international underwent surgery after sustaining a fractured metatarsal in April's Europa League quarter-final first leg against Sevilla.
Martinez returned to action this term, but an aggravation of that foot injury means he again has to go under the knife at a key point of the season.
"I can confirm Licha Martinez will have to undergo surgery," Ten Hag said. "So, the team news is probably Antony dos Santos can return."
United head into Tuesday's match in desperate need of a win, not only due to losing their Champions League opener 4-3 at Bayern Munich but because of Saturday's meek 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace.
That Old Trafford defeat brought them back down to earth with a bump after much-needed back-to-back wins, putting them under intense pressure and scrutiny once again.
"Of course we are disappointed about the result," Ten Hag said.
"Then you have to analyse the game, where were the problems, then you have to move forward, but also give solutions for the problems."
Ten Hag believes "the team is moving forward" despite the results, saying there are positives among the negatives.
Marcus Rashford's performances have been among United's issues, having scored just once after a campaign in which he plundered 30 goals in all competitions.
"The facts are that he is not scoring in this moment, but also he had the opportunities," Ten Hag said of the misfiring England international.
"I think, for instance, in the game against Brighton, there were five or six occasions when he was in a very good spot.
"If he works hard and if he invests every day, goes into every game with the right focus and if the team also around him supply him, help him and support him with movement then it will come.
"Then Marcus Rashford is a player who is capable of always scoring goals in every game and when he's coming in the right spots he will score."
