West Ham midfielder Michail Antonio ruled out for remainder of season after sustaining hamstring injury in big win over relegation rivals Southampton

Michail Antonio’s hamstring injury has ruled him out for the rest of the season but Manuel Lanzini is set to be back in the West Ham squad for Chelsea this Sunday.

Antonio was visibly upset after being forced off only nine minutes into their relegation six-pointer against Southampton at the London Stadium on Saturday.

The 28-year-old, whose season has been disrupted by injuries, limped off in tears before his team-mates secured a vital Premier League win over the Saints.
