Michail Antonio discharged from hospital following car crash
The West Ham forward suffered a broken leg after becoming trapped in his car following a crash in Essex
West Ham forward Michail Antonio has been discharged from hospital as he continues his recovery following a car crash.
The 34-year-old Jamaica international needed surgery on a lower limb fracture after being involved in a road traffic accident in Essex on December 7, and is expected to face a lengthy spell of rehabilitation.
Antonio had been able to speak to his Irons' team-mates via a video call from his hospital bed before they beat Wolves, and was also later visited by the squad and manager Julen Lopetegui.
West Ham players wore 'Antonio 9' shirts while warming up and ahead of kick-off at the London Stadium, with the kit signed by the players - including Antonio - then auctioned off with the proceeds going to the NHS and Air Ambulances UK.
Proceeds of close to £60,000 will be donated to the charities by the club, with the board having matched the amount raised from the auction.
A statement from West Ham read:
"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."
