“Michail Antonio is in stable condition, he is conscious and answering questions.” This is the note from West Ham after the accident he involved Michael Antonio yesterday: the English striker, as stated in the note, is under surveillance at a hospital in central London. Furthermore, the Hammers have asked to respect the player’s privacy at a complicated moment: “The Club will not make any further statements this evening (yesterday, ed.), but will publish a further update in due course.”
In the meantime, the London police, as reported by the Football London portal, have opened investigations into what happened. Through an official note, the Essex county authorities sent an appeal to anyone with videos or information useful to the cause. “We were called shortly after 12.50pm on Saturday 7 December to Coppice Row, Epping, following reports of what is believed to be a single vehicle collision involving a Ferrari. Emergency services were swift and the driver was taken to hospital. The vehicle has been recovered, an investigation will be conducted by our traffic police unit,” it said. The player will therefore miss tomorrow evening’s match against Wolverhampton, scheduled for 9pm.
