LONDON — West Ham striker Michail Antonio is "100%" confident he will play again as he recovers from a car crash that left him with a "completely shattered" leg and a realization "how close I was to dying." Antonio crashed his Ferrari into a tree just outside London on a wet and windy day on Dec. 7. The Jamaica international says he broke his femur bone in four places. Antonio tells the BBC he recently went to see the remains of his car at a scrapyard. He says, "It gave me a weird feeling in my stomach. It just made me realize how close I was to dying." Antonio has been told his rehabilitation will take "between six-to-12 months" before his leg heals properly.
