Michali Antonio, the Westham striker, was unfortunately involved in a scary car accident recently. Luckily, a timely rescue allowed him to escape without life-threatening injuries. On Sunday, club officials confirmed that Antonio had unfortunately suffered a fractured left foot and had undergone surgery. The veteran, who is in his late thirties, will be out of action for at least a year, and there is no word yet on whether or not he will be bidding an early farewell to his career.
An official statement from Westham noted that Antonio has completed surgery on his broken foot after Saturday's accident and will continue to be observed in the hospital. Although the details of the injury have not been released in detail, according to the British media, Antonio's situation is not optimistic. Even in the "most optimistic scenario", he still needs to be out of action for at least a year. Considering that he is about to turn 35, if the injury worsens, he may have to end his soccer career early.
Antonio has been with Westham since 2015, scoring 68 goals in the league, making him the highest goal scorer for Westham in the 'Premier League era'. This season, the Jamaican international has scored just one goal in 14 games in the Premier League.
