Michail Antonio begins next stage of rehab after West Ham star broke his leg in terrifying car crash, Michail Antonio was discharged before Christmas and former Hammers manager, Julen Lopetegui, said he expected him to be able to play in the Premier League again.
The Jamaica international has visited the club’s Rush Green training ground on a few occasions since new boss Graham Potter took charge.
And now he is moving onto the next stage of his recovery, with nearly a fortnight at a training facility in Dubai.
Antonio flies out today and will return to London on February 20.
The striker is currently out of contract at the end of the season, though the club are weighing up whether or not to extend his deal in order to cover the full recovery.
A decision on all new contracts, with Vladimir Coufal’s deal also up in the summer, will be made towards the end of the season.
Fellow stricken striker, Niclas Fullkrug, has also been working in Dubai in order to aid his recovery from a hamstring injury suffered in Potter’s first game in charge.
The Hammers are struggling with injuries across the pitch, which has not aided Potter’s start to his new job.
