West Ham striker Michail Antonio has been discharged from hospital more than three weeks after sustaining a broken leg in a car accident.

Antonio, 34, had surgery on a lower limb fracture following the crash on 7 December.

The Jamaica international needed to be released from his car after becoming trapped during the incident in Epping, Essex, and was taken to a central London hospital.

Antonio is West Ham's all-time leading scorer in the Premier League, with 68 goals in 268 league appearances.

The Hammers forward spoke to his team-mates via a video call before they earned an important 2-1 win over Wolves on 9 December, having worn 'Antonio 9' shirts before kick-off.
