"My first surgeon said he didn't want me to put any weight on my leg for three months, which is around about now, and you can see that I am walking. "We got a second specialist who said I needed to start putting weight on it, increasing from 10% up to 100% within three weeks. "But I kept my crutches for a further two weeks.

Michail Antonio, aged 35, is in talks with Qatari club AlSailiya and Championship side Charlton Athletic as he seeks a return to regular football. Antonio is training at Charlton's base in southeast London while negotiations with both clubs continue. He featured for Jamaica at the June Concacaf Gold Cup after recovering from a December 2024 car crash. West Ham released him in August and he later trained briefly with Leicester City before a minor setback. Antonio suffered a shattered femur requiring keyhole surgery, a metal rod and multiple bolts, and expects six to 12 months for full healing.
