Reliable club source details injury update on Michail Antonio ahead of PL season
West Ham United fans will have looked away when it looked like Michail Antonio picked up yet another injury against Brentford.
Antonio played a big role in the 2-1 win at the London Stadium, assisting Tomas Soucek for the second goal against the Bees.
ExWHUemployee shared an update on the striker’s fitness recently, claiming it was just an impact injury that isn’t being classed as serious at this stage.
The reliable club source shared that he will face a fitness test on Monday, claiming that he will should be all good for the next friendly.
“It was an impact injury apparently and isn’t thought to be serious,” he wrote on his personal Twitter account.
“It will be looked at on Monday but expected to be fit for the next game.”
The 30-year-old has had a terrible injury record throughout his career, and every time there is a new knock, everyone immediately believes the worst.
Antonio was superb in the Premier League last season and was given the task of leading the line for the Irons with no other strikers available.
The experienced forward was the best performer at the club, earning the highest match average according to WhoScored in the 19/20 campaign.
Moyes will be eager for Antonio to be back fully fit for the Premier League in two weeks time, and we expect him to play a massive role against Newcastle on the opening day.
