West Ham United forward Michail Antonio, after surviving a near-fatal car accident that shattered his leg, remains resolutely optimistic about returning to professional football. Despite the gravity of his injuries and having to face the possibility of an end to his playing career, Antonio has expressed confidence, stating he is ahead in his recovery and committed to his rehabilitation efforts. He described his injury as the worst of his career but believes strongly in his mental fortitude and ability to regain his form on the pitch.
I shattered my femur bone in four different places. I had one single keyhole surgery. They put a pole in my thigh with four bolts.
I will play again. I've always been positive from this situation. It's a horrendous accident, and it's a massive injury.
It's the biggest injury I've ever had in my career, but I know that I'll play again, and I know that once I'm playing the game I'll get the sharpness back.
People have always doubted me. My mental strength is something that I've always believed in and this is just another setback.
