Michail Antonio Reflects on Life-Threatening Car Crash and Recovery Journey

The West Ham striker, who shattered his femur in four places during a December crash, is determined to return to professional football despite a long recovery ahead.

Michail Antonio revealed he 'almost died' in a December car crash during Storm Darragh, where his Ferrari veered off the road and hit a tree in Essex.
The West Ham forward suffered a severely shattered femur, requiring surgery to insert a rod and screws, and faces a six- to twelve-month recovery timeline.
Antonio has made significant progress in his rehabilitation, walking and jogging ahead of schedule, and remains confident he will return to the pitch.
The accident, Antonio's second involving a sports car, has profoundly impacted him emotionally, leading him to avoid driving sports cars and focus on his family and recovery.
West Ham United has supported Antonio throughout his recovery, and while his contract expires this summer, discussions about an extension are anticipated.
