Antonio will continue to be monitored in hospital over the coming days, his football club announced in a statement on X on Sunday afternoon.
West Ham said: ‘Everyone at the Club wishes Michail a speedy recovery and wishes to express its sincere gratitude to the football family at large for the overwhelming support shown since yesterday’s news, as well as extending a heartfelt thank you to the emergency services and first responders who attended to Michail in the immediate aftermath of the incident, and the medical team who continue to aid him in his recovery.’
