Westham striker Michalie Antonio was tragically injured in a frightening car crash, but fortunately rescue was timely and his life was not in danger. On Sunday (8), the club officially confirmed that the 34-year-old striker has undergone surgery on his fractured left foot. The seasoned veteran is said to be out for at least a year, and there is no word yet on whether he will retire early.
In a statement, Westham FC revealed, "Following Saturday's accident, Antonio has undergone surgery on his broken foot and will remain in hospital for the next few days for observation." Although the exact nature of the injury was not released in detail, according to the British media, Antonio's recovery is not optimistic. The "most optimistic scenario" is that he will be out for at least a year. Considering that he is about to turn 35, if the injury worsens, he may have to say goodbye to the field early.
Since joining Westham in 2015, Antonio has been an integral part of the team, scoring 68 goals in the league, making him the highest goal scorer for Westham in the 'Premier League era'. The Jamaican international has scored just one goal in 14 games in the Premier League this season.
