Manchester United winger Antony Santos will return to training and be available for selection as he cooperates with police inquiries into allegations of violence towards women, the club said Friday.
The Brazil international, who strongly denies the accusations, was given a leave of absence by United on September 10.
He returned to England earlier this week and attended a voluntary interview with Greater Manchester Police Thursday.
United have confirmed the 23-year old will rejoin training with a view to returning to Erik ten Hag's side, but he will not be involved in Saturday's Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.
"Since allegations were first made in June, Antony has cooperated with police inquiries in both Brazil and the UK, and he continues to do so," a United statement read.
"As Antony's employer, United have 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."
Accusations
Antony is facing several accusations of physical aggression towards his former girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin, who spoke to Brazilian media earlier this month.
The winger has denied those allegations, as well as further assault claims made by two other women.
He has not been arrested or charged in either Brazil or in Britain and he left the voluntary interview, where he presented evidence to support his strenuous denials, without any restrictions.
Antony joined United from Ajax Amsterdam last year for an initial fee of 95m euros ($101m).
But he has struggled to live up to that price tag, scoring just eight goals in 48 games.
Ten Hag denied the Brazilian's return would be an extra distraction in an already troubled season for United.
The Red Devils have lost three of their six Premier League games and were beaten 4-3 by Bayern Munich to being their opening Champions League match.
"I think everything has been made clear in the statement," said Ten Hag.
"No, I don't think it's a distraction. We focus on the games and he will do as well."
Domestic abuse charity Women's Aid criticized the decision and called for more guidance to be given to clubs handling such cases.
"An informed and consistent approach is vital in order to create a society where domestic abuse is not tolerated and we will be writing to the national organizations to raise this," said a spokesperson for Women's Aid.
United have already been in the spotlight this season after deciding in August that Mason Greenwood would continue his career elsewhere.
Charges against the 21-year old, including attempted rape and sexual assault, were dropped by prosecutors in February after the withdrawal of key witnesses and new evidence coming to light.
Greenwood has since joined Spanish side Getafe on loan.
'Extended period'
United defender Lisandro Martinez has been ruled out for an "extended period" after aggravating a foot injury he suffered last season.
Martinez was sidelined for around two months when he sustained a fractured metatarsal in United's Europa League quarter-final against Sevilla in April.
The Argentina center-back is now likely to be out of action for a similar period after United confirmed the foot problem is still an issue.
"Martinez will be out of action for an extended period due to an aggravation of the foot injury he suffered in April," a statement said.
"The Argentinian defender experienced the setback in our Premier League game against Arsenal earlier this month.
"Martinez bravely continued playing for the following two games against Brighton and Hove Albion and Bayern.
"But it has now been determined that he needs a period on the sidelines for recovery and rehabilitation. Assessment is ongoing to decide next steps."
Adding to Ten Hag's problems, the club also confirmed that defender Sergio Reguilon will miss the game against Palace at Old Trafford with a "minor injury".
There have been 16 different United players injured or ill already this season, with seven sidelined for the Palace clash.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia are all ruled out, with Kobbie Mainoo, Amad Diallo, Reguilon and Martinez also absent.
There was a sliver of good news for Ten Hag on the fitness front, with Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay back from illness this weekend.
Criticizing the burden put on players by a hectic fixture list, Ten Hag said: "Every time the shadow is expanding, and the load on the players is just too much. It's such a great overload.
"Many colleagues have already pointed to that and I have pointed to that as well.
"But it kept going, we keep expanding the shadow, but anywhere it will stop and players can't deal any more with this overload. I think this is what you see across many squads in this moment."
