LONDON — West Ham’s forward Michail Antonio has recently undergone surgery for what the club has referred to as a “lower limb fracture.” This occurred after the Jamaica international was involved in a road traffic accident. The unfortunate event took place just outside London on Saturday, leading to the 34-year-old being admitted to the hospital for intensive care.

Following the incident, Antonio is said to be under close observation by medical staff and will continue to be monitored in the hospital for the next few days. West Ham expressed their well-wishes in a statement, hoping for a swift recovery for the striker. The club also conveyed sincere gratitude to the wider football community for the outpouring of support following the news, as well as thanking the emergency responders and medical teams who provided immediate assistance to Antonio after the accident.

Images circulating on social media on Saturday depicted a severely damaged Ferrari, although it has not been confirmed if this vehicle was indeed connected to the incident.

Antonio joined West Ham in 2015 and has since made over 300 appearances for the club, establishing himself as a key player in their lineup.
