Michail Antonio will make an emotional return to the London Stadium tonight ahead of West Ham’s clash with Newcastle.

The Hammers striker is still recovering after his horror car crash in December that saw Antonio trapped inside his Ferrari for 45 minutes that left him with a broken leg and lucky to be alive.

Antonio’s rehab has been going well and the forward recently returned from a 12-day warm weather training programme in Dubai.

The 34-year-old will be introduced to the West Ham crowd at the London Stadium just before kick-off as Graham Potter’s side look to make it three Premier League wins in a row to move up to 13th in the table.
