    Cavallin’s fresh claims were first published by Brazilian media outlet UOL, one of the South American country’s largest news providers.
    Gabriela also shared two new images showing injuries on her head and fingers, claiming to be a result of Antony’s alleged attacks.
    She alleges her finger was cut to the bone and that the footballer attacked her while she was pregnant.
    In a new string of undated WhatsApp messages, the DJ and influencer, 23, claims Antony wished she was dead and told her “go f**k yourself” after she allegedly refused to reply to his messages and calls.

    “It’s over between me and you,” Antony reportedly wrote.
    “I hope you die and go f*** yourself.”
    “You’re disgusting you even left WhatsApp and turned off your internet.”
    The texts go on to read that Antony, also 23, allegedly called Gabriela “deceitful” and urged her to pick up his phone calls.

    “You’ve been deceitful,” the Brazil winger reportedly wrote.
    “You did that with all the guys that you came across with in your life.
    “Pick up the phone if you’re woman enough.”
    A second screenshot from Gabriela’s mobile phone exposes the Man United star’s allegedly “unforgivable” actions.
    Antony allegedly replied: “I understand, just take care of yourselves okay? That’s all I ask of you.”
    Gabriela, who has nearly 500,000 Instagram followers, replied: “You tried scaring the life out of me speeding in your car and playing the steering wheel.
    “So don’t tell me to take care of myself now.”

    The shocking allegations come weeks after Gabriela reportedly was preparing to report Antony to police in the UK over domestic abuse allegations.
    She had previously filed a complaint against the £85million winger which is currently under ongoing investigation in his native Brazil.
    A total of four alleged attacks are described in a police report seen by respected sports news site ESPN.
    She says she dated Brazil World Cup ace Antony, also 23, on and off for two years and lived with him in Amsterdam while he played for Ajax.
    She claims the first assault came at a nightclub in São Paulo last July when she was around 17 weeks pregnant with his baby.
    Antony allegedly dragged her out by the arm and hair then pushed her into a car after she ended their romance.
    Gabriela told cops they got back together soon after and she moved with him to Manchester after his transfer to the Red Devils.
    A second alleged attack came at Gabriela’s flat in January.
    The “jealous” star is alleged to have left her needing surgery to fix displaced silicone boob implants.
    Two more alleged assaults followed in England – one witnessed by her friend and Antony’s mother.
    Gabriela also said Antony threatened her after she returned to Brazil last month.
    She has requested “urgent protective measures” against Antony, according to Brazilian media.
    A spokesman for Manchester United said the club does not have any comment.
    The Sun Online has also contacted Greater Manchester Police for comment on the allegations.
    The couple’s romance was first made public last year.
    In July, Gabriela shared on social media that she had suffered a miscarriage.
    The baby boy would have have been named Luca Mateo.
    Antony issued a lengthy denial and vowed to clear his name when the allegations were first made in June.
    He wrote: “To friends, fans, and followers,
    “For your sake, after giving my statement at the police station where the investigation involving my name is being conducted, I would like to speak publicly for the first time since I was falsely accused of assault.
    “I remained silent until this moment so that nothing could interfere with the investigative process, but during all these days my family and I suffered in silence.
    “Even though I was born and raised in a very underprivileged community, I had never been through a situation similar to this one, in which a false accusation of assault generated a prior and unfair public judgement by some people.
    “After the investigation is closed, my innocence will be proven, it being certain that justice will prevail and the damage initially caused to my image will remain in the past.

    “Thank you for the countless messages of support received during this very difficult time.”

    “But when I’m allowed to talk about it. The Rest is Football will get it first.”
    Shearer then poked fun at his co-host, replying: “I think the common opinion is ‘don’t f*** with big Mics’.”
    Lineker added: “In case those of you are unaware, there was an incident at Arsenal yesterday where allegedly Roy Keane was headbutted by someone and a certain Micah Richards stepped in.
    “We’ll get the full story at some point. It is something we shouldn’t trivialise, either, really, because obviously that is a serious thing if fans start attacking people.

    “We will wait until the police investigation is done until before we cover that story even more.”
    The trio also sang the Rocky theme tune during the opening minute of the latest episode.

    Sky is also now beefing up its security moving forward.
    Richards’ comments come as the Metropolitan Police today confirmed a man had been arrested on suspicion of assault.
    A spokesperson said: “Police are investigating an incident at Emirates Stadium on Sunday, during which a man was assaulted.
    “On Monday, a 42-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault (ABH).

    However, Sainz, who was still in his Ferrari kit, chased them with members of the public, who saw the robbery take place.
    The Spanish driver managed to catch the robbers and recover the precious Richard Mille watch while police have now arrested two suspects.
    Britain’s Lando Norris had his £144,000 Richard Mille robbed from him after England’s Euro finals loss to Italy.
    But the young racer never got the watch back and a man was found not guilty of robbery.

    Sainz’s robbery attempt came after Max Verstappen made it ten wins in a row to set a new F1 record.
    Verstappen was held up for 15 laps by Sainz, who had taken pole the previous day for the Italian team in their home race.
    At first the Dutchman locked up as he tried to squeeze past the Spaniard’s Ferrari into turn one.
    But he got the move done four corners later to move into the lead and was untroubled to the end to open up a 145-point advantage in the championship over his teammate Sergio Perez.

    It was so comfortable, his race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase labelled it “a stroll in the park” over the team’s radio.
    When quizzed about his landmark victory, Verstappen said: “I never would have believed that it was possible but we had to work for it today and that made it a lot more fun.
    “I was just trying to stay patient. I could see they [Ferrari] were struggling with rear tyres and I had to pick my moment.”

    Nottingham Forest could be charged by the FA after two away fans were arrested over ‘Chelsea Rent Boy’ chants

    NOTTINGHAM Forest could be charged by the FA after two away fans were arrested over “Chelsea Rent Boy” chants.New regulations introduced earlier this year mean clubs whose fans use the offensive term can be punished.

    The unsavoury chants saw two Forest supporters arrested at Stamford Bridge Saturday afternoon.
    They were ejected from the Chelsea ground before being taken away by officers from Nottinghamshire Police, according to MailOnline.
    The FA introduced new regulations earlier this year enabling them to charge clubs whose fans use the offensive term “rent boy”.
    It comes as the CPS decided to classify use of the phrase – which is a breach of FA rule E21 – as a hate crime.
    Read More in Football
    The Crown Prosecution Service have previously said those who use the words are liable to face prosecution.
    Chelsea fans are also understood to have complained to security staff about other incidents. 
    FA charges do not automatically follow in such cases, which can be left to the clubs involved and police to resolve.
    However, the previous use of the term by Forest fans at a match against Chelsea on New Year’s Day may count against them.
    Most read in Football
    Wolves became the first club to be punished by the FA for homophobic chanting in July when they were given a £100,000 fine.
    The Prem outfit were hit by the fine after their “inadequate response” to rent boy chants during their Premier League game against Cheslea in April. 
    The FA will wait until they have received reports from cops before deciding whether to take formal disciplinary action against Forest.
    Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly has overseen a £1billion splurge on new players since taking over the club last May.
    But the Blues were downed by Elanga who scored his first goal for Forest since making a £15million move from Manchester United in July.
    Chants were aimed at Chelsea players at multiple grounds last season – both in the Premier League and FA Cup. More
