There are major concerns about Michail Antonio (34) at West Ham United. The Premier League club said in a brief statement that it could “confirm that striker Michail Antonio was involved in a traffic accident today.” The Hammers initially did not provide any details, but announced “an update in due course.”

“The thoughts and prayers of everyone at the club are with Mikhail, his family and his friends at this time,” it said simply. There are images circulating on social media of a smashed Ferrari that is said to be associated with the accident, but this has not been confirmed. The attacker has been playing for the Londoners since 2015. So far, Antonio has scored 83 goals in 322 games for West Ham.

According to media reports, it is not the first time that Antonio has been involved in an accident. At Christmas 2019, dressed as a snowman, he crashes his luxury car into a front garden. According to his own statements, he was driving a little too fast on a slippery road. West Ham’s next game, where DFB striker Niclas Füllkrug (31) also plays, is scheduled for Monday evening at home against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
