And the club should've stood firm on this one, given that Antony, unlike Greenwood, hasn't been charged with a crime or arrested. There are other players arrested for more serious crimes who aren't being sent on "mutually agreed leave" by their club. Media could report on international reports, just like they've done in the Antony case when his accuser made an interview in Brazil, but they haven't done so. So I stand by my original comment that the club is forced to sideline Antony by the media, and he will only be allowed back once media allows him back.
It inevitably leads to the question of whether the club can bring him back at any point before the police investigation has concluded? Imagine there's a lazy police officer back in Brazil who doesn't like the cut of Antony's jib (wouldn't blame him...) who takes three years investigating the case before deciding to not press charges. Are the club supposed to pay his wages for that duration without him kicking a ball for the club?
