LONDON — West Ham forward Michail Antonio has sent a message to the Premier League club's fans after being discharged from the hospital as he continues his recovery following a car crash in early December. "Happy New Year – and I'll be back on that pitch soon," Antonio wrote in a message posted by the club on its official website. The 34-year-old Jamaica international needed surgery on a lower limb fracture after a one-car incident outside London on Dec. 7, and is expected to face a lengthy spell of rehabilitation. Antonio said "this year I know exactly what I'm grateful for: being alive."
