Michail Antonio’s future in football is uncertain following a severe car accident that left him with a significant leg injury.
The accident occurred in Theydon Bois, Essex, requiring Antonio to undergo surgery on a lower limb fracture.
The 34-year-old forward underwent surgery on Sunday, just a day after the unfortunate event.
Antonio could be sidelined for up to a year as he begins his recovery, and there are growing concerns he may never return to play for West Ham in the Premier League.
TalkSPORT presenter Jim White provided an update on Antonio’s condition, revealing that he remains in stable condition and is receiving support from both NHS and West Ham medical staff.
White emphasized that Antonio may benefit from his strong fitness as he faces a lengthy rehabilitation process.
However, it is expected to take at least 12 months before it is known if Antonio can return to football.
West Ham confirmed the surgery on Sunday and expressed their gratitude for the overwhelming support Antonio has received from the football community.
The club thanked the emergency services and medical teams who attended to him immediately after the accident.
They also assured fans that Antonio’s progress will be monitored, with further updates to be provided when appropriate.
Antonio’s recovery journey will be a long and uncertain one, and the future of his football career remains in question.
