West Ham have delayed a decision on Michail Antonio's future as the forward continues his recovery from a serious car accident in December.

The 35-year-old's contract expires on 30 June but the club say his "unique situation" means no formal decision will be made until the time is "right and appropriate".

Antonio's Ferrari skidded off the road and struck a tree in Epping Forest six months ago, resulting in a broken leg which required a three-week stay in hospital.

In a statement, West Ham said the Jamaica international will be listed as a free transfer for the purposes of Premier League procedure.
