West Ham give Michail Antonio health update after horror car crash - The Jamaica international needed to be released from his car after getting trapped during the crash in Essex

Michail Antonio sent a message to fans after being discharged from the hospital as he continues his recovery following a car crash in early December.

Premier League side West Ham confirmed striker Michail Antonio had been involved in a road traffic accident on December 7. The Jamaica international has now been allowed to go home.

West Ham forward Michail Antonio has been discharged from hospital, more than three weeks after crashing his car. The accident on 7 December hospitalised Antonio, who later underwent surgery on a broken leg.

First came the managerial appointment of head coach Julen Lopetegui in May. The Spaniard replaced David Moyes, who was previously at the helm for four and a half years. It was a bold decision from the board and one which still polarises opinion, but they felt it was a risk worth taking, and only time will tell if they will rue that decision.

West Ham United striker Michail Antonio has spoken publicly for the first time since being involved in a life-threatening car accident that left him hospitalised for over three weeks.
