The club released a statement on Sunday confirming the procedure, stating: “West Ham United can confirm Michail Antonio has undergone surgery on a lower limb fracture following a road traffic accident on Saturday afternoon.”
Earlier updates from the club reassured fans that Antonio was conscious and communicating, easing concerns after unverified images of a wrecked Ferrari surfaced online.
