Michail Antonio has released footage of his painstaking journey to return to full fitness after surviving a horror car crash that left him with a broken leg.

The Hammers front man has not featured since the December accident that required him to be cut from the wreckage of his £260,000 grey Ferrari by fire crews in Essex and airlifted to hospital.

After colliding with a tree on his way home from training in Epping Forest, the striker was trapped for more than 45 minutes and feared for his life. Antonio underwent surgery for a broken leg the following day, but has worked hard on a miraculous recovery which has seen him return to training just four months on from the accident.
