"Pray for him," West Ham footballer involved in terrifying car accident

West Ham United have said their thoughts and prayers are with Michail Antonio after confirming the striker was involved in a serious car accident on Saturday.

The club issued an update after images of a wrecked Ferrari circulated on social media. The vehicle had suffered extensive damage and there were unconfirmed reports that Antonio was airlifted to hospital.

A club spokesman said: "West Ham United can confirm that striker Michail Antonio has been involved in a road traffic accident today. 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 joined West Ham in 2015 and has long been a fan favourite. The 34-year-old has played in a range of positions and in 2023 he helped the club win the Conference League. West Ham are at home to Wolves in the Premier League on Monday night.
