West Ham Players Visit Michail Antonio in Hospital

West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui announced that the team's players will visit Michail Antonio in the hospital as he recovers from a serious car crash. The 34-year-old striker underwent surgery for a lower limb fracture and is expected to remain hospitalized for several weeks due to multiple injuries sustained in the accident on December 7 in Epping, Essex. Despite the severity of the crash, Antonio was able to communicate with his teammates via video call before their recent match against Wolves, during which the squad honored him by wearing 'Antonio 9' shirts. Lopetegui expressed relief at Antonio's recovery progress and emphasized the team's support for him and his family. The club plans to auction signed shirts to benefit the NHS and Air Ambulances UK. West Ham's next match is against Bournemouth in the Premier League on Monday night.
