He has been discharged three weeks after his horror car crash
West Ham star Michail Antonio has finally been released from hospital after a horror car crash left him needing surgery.
The crash, which happened in the Essex area earlier this month, resulted in Antonio suffering ‘a lower limb fracture’ among other injuries. An Air Ambulance was called and he was rushed to hospital.
The east London side issued an update to fans saying he was ‘conscious and communicating’ as images of his badly damaged silver Ferrari began to circulate online.
It later emerged that Antonio had been trapped in the wreckage for more than 45 minutes with fire crews eventually cutting him free.
West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui previously issued an update on the star, and said he believes Antonio will play football again.
He said: “The most important thing is that he’s alive, he’s good. He broke his femur, but he’s going to recover for sure.
“He’s going to need time. It’s about time. Now it’s about time but the good news is that he has time because when you see the car was terrible, the accident, that’s why we are happy.
“Because in the end, despite the fact we are unhappy because we lost one very important player for us, we are happy because he’s going to be ready.
“Now he’s strong, he’s recovered himself in the next month for sure and he’s going to be ready to be a player.
“The first thing is to be a man and then to be a player.”
