West Ham striker Antonio 'stable' after car crash

West Ham striker Michail Antonio is in stable condition and "conscious and communicating" after a car crash in Epping on Saturday afternoon. Antonio, 34, is under close supervision at a central London hospital.

Essex Fire and Rescue crews freed him from his Ferrari, and police are investigating the collision. West Ham expressed their "thoughts and prayers" for Antonio, urging privacy for his family.

Clubs and figures across football, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, and former England manager Steve McClaren, have shared messages of support. Antonio, West Ham's record Premier League scorer with 68 goals, has five goals in 21 appearances for Jamaica.

He remains a key player, having helped West Ham win the 2023 Europa Conference League. The Hammers face Wolves on Monday in the Premier League.
