LONDON (AP) — West Ham forward Michail Antonio was taken to hospital after being involved in a road traffic incident on Saturday.

West Ham added the 34-year-old player was in a stable condition.

“Michail is conscious and communicating and is currently under close supervision at a central London hospital,” the Premier League club said in a statement. “At this difficult time, we kindly ask everyone to respect the privacy of Michail and his family.

“The club will make no further comment this evening, but will issue a further update in due course.”

Unverified images of a heavily damaged Ferrari in the Essex area were shared on social media on Saturday. It was not known if it was the car involved in the accident.

Antonio has played 15 games this season for the Hammers, scoring one goal and assisting on another in the Premier League.

The Jamaican international joined Westham from Nottingham Forest in 2015 and has appeared 300 games.

Michail was previously involved in a serous car accident when he crashed his Lamborghini into a south London garden in 2019.
