Striker’s Road to Recovery
Michail Antonio, the Jamaican and West Ham striker, has been discharged from a London hospital three weeks after being involved in a car accident.

A Quick Recovery
Antonio is West Ham’s all-time leading scorer in the Premier League, with 68 goals in 268 league appearances. The Hammers forward spoke to his team-mates via video call before they earned an important 2-1 win over Wolves on December 9. He had worn ‘Antonio 9’ shirts before kick-off.
Club’s Response
The club thanked the emergency and medical services supporting Antonio and said it would donate “close to £60,000 to the NHS and Air Ambulances UK charities” after the shirts were auctioned. “Everyone at the club would like to reiterate their heartfelt thanks to the first responders, emergency services, air ambulance staff, and the NHS for the incredible support given to Michail in the wake of the accident,” West Ham said on Tuesday.
Manager’s Remarks
West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui said earlier this month that it was a “miracle” and that Antonio was OK.
