At the microphone of Bbcthe interested party explained that he felt that his car had been weird for several weeks and returned to his exit from the road that he cannot really explain: “The back of the car kept swinging on me, I didn't feel safe. I had had it for three weeks and I was already considering returning it. It's weird, because throughout this story, I was told that I was awake and that I was talking to everyone – the police, people and the person who found me. My leg was completely broken, they took me out of there and put me on the side of the car. ”
Michail Antonio says he will replay football
Inevitably, after having passed so close to death, the former Nottingham Forest striker was relaunched on his state of health which has long worried the planet of football. Now out of danger, Antonio seeks to resume full possession of his means and revealed behind the scenes of his operation. Thus, the 34 -year -old explained how to take place in the coming months of his sports rehabilitation: “I broke the femur in four different places. I suffered a single surgical operation. They planted a post in my thigh with four bolts, so screws and bolts to pick it up. My first surgeon told me that he didn't want me to get weight on my leg for three months, that is to say about now, and you can see that I walk. We called on a second specialist who told me that I had to start gaining weight, increasing by 10 % to 100 % in three weeks. But I kept my crutches for two more weeks. In total, it is estimated that it will take between six and twelve months before my leg begins to heal properly. ”

Better still, the latter is convinced that he will replay football in the coming months: “If I will replay football?” Yes, 100 %. I will replay. This is what I focus on and that's why I work six days a week. I have always drawn a positive assessment from this situation. It is a horrible accident, and it is a serious injury. It is the most serious injury I have ever suffered in my career. But as I already have two or three months ahead of my normal level, I know that I will play again and that I will resume the game, I will find my liveliness. We have always doubted me. I have always believed in my mental strength and it is only a new backhand, and that will not stop me. ” This should delight all West Ham supporters, but especially football lovers who attend a very beautiful story with Michail Antonio.
