West Ham striker refers to having ‘another chance at life’He says he is ‘two to three months’ ahead of schedule
Michail Antonio has revealed he almost died when he crashed his Ferrari last December, but the West Ham striker is adamant he will recover from a badly broken leg to play again. Antonio, who spoke with disarming honesty on BBC One’s Morning Live on Monday, feels he has been given “another chance at life” as he continues his recovery.
West Ham’s record Premier League goalscorer is determined to revive his career, but he knows he is lucky to be alive. Antonio can remember nothing from the accident, which occurred when he was driving home from training and crashed into a tree in Epping Forest on a stormy Saturday. The seriousness of it hit home when the forward saw the remains of the car at a scrapyard three weeks ago.
