MICHAIL ANTONIO has been discharged from hospital following his horror car crash. The West Ham striker, 34, was London hospital and suffered a broken leg after crashing his £260,000 Ferrari near Theydon Bois, Essex, in early December. West Ham have raised just shy of £60,000 for the NHS and Air Ambulances UK Charity as a thank-you for their support.

Antonio's crash occurred in Epping on the way home from the Hammers' Rush Green training ground and he underwent surgery on the broken leg that night. Hammers players all wore shirts bearing Antonio's name following their home win over Wolves, the first game following the crash.

Each of those, as well as the match-worn shirts, were signed and auctioned off to fans in order to raise cash. The auction raised a total of £29,613 which was matched by the West Ham board, making a total of £59,226 to be split between the two causes.

Jarrod Bowen scored West Ham's winner against Wolves and his shirt raised the most - selling for £3005. The Hammers captain said: “It’s been special to see the West Ham family and the wider football community come together in support of Mic over the last month.

“We are all grateful for the care that both the NHS and Air Ambulances UK have given to Mic during a challenging time for him and his family. By Jon Boon. The outpouring of love from the football community for Michael Antonio has been massive, with the striker recognised as a big character in the game.
