West Ham striker Michail Antonio has been discharged from the hospital more than three weeks after suffering a broken leg in a car accident.
Eko Hot Blog reports that the 34-year-old Jamaica international underwent surgery to repair a lower limb fracture following the crash on December 7.

Antonio had to be freed from his car after becoming trapped during the accident in Epping, Essex, and was subsequently taken to a central London hospital for treatment.
As West Ham’s all-time leading Premier League scorer with 68 goals in 268 league appearances, Antonio’s absence has been deeply felt by the team.
Despite his condition, he managed to inspire his teammates via a video call before their crucial 2-1 victory over Wolves on December 9. The players paid tribute by wearing ‘Antonio 9’ shirts during the warm-up.
West Ham extended gratitude to the emergency and medical services involved in Antonio’s care.
The club also announced plans to donate nearly £60,000 to NHS and Air Ambulances UK charities, funds raised through the auction of the commemorative shirts.
“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,” West Ham said on Tuesday.
West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui said earlier this month that it was a “miracle” Antonio was OK.
