WEST Ham star Michail Antonio has posted an emotional message online after being discharged from hospital following his horror car crash. The Hammers captain broke his leg in the smash involving his £260,000 Ferrari, which saw him airlifted to hospital earlier this month.
Taking to his Instagram, Antonio thanked emergency services and the football community - and promised to be back in action soon. He wrote: "Every year around this time, I’m asked what I’m grateful for, and every year I’ve struggled to find the right words.
"But this year, I know exactly what I’m grateful for: being alive. "I’ve spent so many years taking life for granted. I made plans for the next day, the next year, always assuming tomorrow was guaranteed. "What I’ve been through recently has opened my eyes.
"Life is fragile, and every single moment matters. "I’m so grateful to God for giving me the strength to keep going and for allowing me to still be here. "To the emergency services, the NHS, The Air Ambulance, everyone at the Royal London and Cromwell hospitals and everyone from top to bottom at West Ham United FC.
"The medical team, the board, all of the staff, my teammates and the amazing West Ham fans… I honestly could not have got through this without you. thank you from the bottom of my heart. "To my loved ones who stood by my side throughout everything, I can’t express how much you mean to me.
