Antonio trains with Foxes in bid to restart career

Striker Michail Antonio will be given a chance to restart his club career in the Championship with Leicester City a year after being involved in a car crash which put his playing future in serious doubt.

The 35-year-old former West Ham forward suffered a badly broken leg, with his femur snapped in four places, after the Ferrari he was driving struck a tree in Epping Forest in December 2024.

He has been training with Leicester this week and is a free agent option for Foxes boss Marti Cifuentes to potentially turn to in the absence of Patson Daka, who will join up with Zambia next week for the Africa Cup of Nations.
