Michail Antonio has been involved in a serious car accident, his club West Ham have confirmed.
The Hammers confirmed the incident in a statement on social media but did not reveal any additional details.

A club statement read: “West Ham United can confirm striker Michail Antonio has today been involved in a road traffic accident.
“The thoughts and prayers of everyone at the Club are with Michail, his family and friends at this time. The Club will issue an update in due course.”
Antonio has played 15 games this season for the Hammers, scoring one goal and assisting another in the Premier League.
The 34-year-old featured in the midweek defeat at Leicester, coming on as a substitute after 62 minutes.
