Graham Potter issues update on Michail Antonio as the West Ham striker closes in on a return to training just four months after horror car crash

West Ham boss Graham Potter hopes Michail Antonio will return to training soon - just four months after the striker broke his leg in a horror car crash.

On December 7, Antonio was airlifted to hospital with a broken leg after being cut from the wreckage of his £260,000 grey Ferrari by fire crews in Essex.

After colliding with a tree on his way home from training in Epping Forest, Anotnio was trapped for more than 45 minutes and feared for his life.

The 35-year-old is not expected to return for the Hammers this season, but is close to being back on the grass with his team-mates, according to his manager.
