Michail Antonio of West Ham FC in Stable Condition After Traffic Accident

West Ham forward Michail Antonio is currently in the hospital but in stable condition. According to the Premier League club, Antonio is conscious and communicating with staff. He is being closely supervised at a central London hospital. The club issued an update following the circulation of unverified images showing a badly damaged Ferrari online. In a statement, West Ham United confirmed that the 34-year-old was involved in a road traffic accident in the Essex area earlier that afternoon.

"Michail is conscious and communicating and is currently under close supervision at a central London hospital.

"At this difficult time, we kindly ask everyone to respect the privacy of Michail and his family.

"The club will make no further comment this evening, but will issue a further update in due course."

It was West Ham's second statement on the matter after an earlier one confirming an accident had taken place.

Essex Fire Service also confirmed firefighters had attended the scene and released a man trapped in his car.

A number of Premier League clubs posted their support for Antonio.

"Everyone at Arsenal sends their love, support and well wishes to Michail, his family and West Ham United," Arsenal said on X, with the same sentiments echoed by Chelsea and Liverpool.

The London-born Jamaica international joined West Ham in 2015 and has scored 83 goals for the club in 323 games.

He has scored once in 15 appearances for the Hammers this season, in a 4-1 victory at home to Ipswich in early October.

The former Nottingham Forest and Sheffield Wednesday striker won the Europa Conference League with the club in 2023 under then manager David Moyes.
