Madrid: Real Betis winger Antony will be available to face Real Madrid on Saturday after the Spanish football federation (RFEF) overturned his red card from last weekend.

The Manchester United winger, on loan in Seville, was sent off during Betis' 2-1 win at Getafe on Sunday.

The RFEF disciplinary committee ruled that Antony had tried to play the ball when he slid in on Getafe defender Juan Iglesias.

Antony has netted three goals for Betis in six appearances for the club across all competitions since joining in the January transfer window.

The Brazil international, 25, became Man United's second most expensive player ever when he joined from Ajax in 2022 for £81.3 million ($101.5), but struggled to find form at Old Trafford.

Champions Real Madrid are second in La Liga, level on points with leaders Barcelona, while Betis are fighting for European football and sit seventh.
