Michail Antonio: Ex-West Ham forward in talks with Charlton

In an exclusive interview with the BBC in March 2025, the forward said he felt like he was “close to dying” after the crash in Essex and that he believes he has been given “another chance at life”.

“I shattered my femur bone in four different places,” he said.

“I had one single keyhole surgery. They put a pole in my thigh with four bolts, so screws and bolts to knit it back together.

“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. Overall, they say it will be between six to 12 months before my leg starts healing properly.”
