West Ham’s squad will warm up in Michail Antonio shirts on Monday night to show support for their stricken team-mate.

Hammers striker Antonio remains in hospital following the serious road accident he was involved in on Saturday afternoon.

The 34-year-old Jamaica international underwent surgery on a lower-limb fracture on Sunday and will continue to receive hospital care over the coming days.

Ahead of the Premier League fixture against Wolves at the London Stadium, the players will warm-up in special ‘Antonio 9’ shirts, as well as walking out in tops bearing his name.

West Ham say the shirts will be signed and auctioned off with proceeds going to the NHS and Air Ambulances UK.

The Hammers said: “Everyone at the club would like to reiterate their heartfelt thanks to the first responders, emergency services, air ambulance staff and the NHS for the incredible support given to Michail in the wake of the accident.”
