West Ham’s players warmed up in Michail Antonio shirts prior to Monday’s crucial Premier League fixture against Wolves to show their support for their injured team-mate.

The Hammers forward, 34, remains in hospital after being involved in a car crash on Saturday.

Antonio underwent surgery on Sunday on a lower limb fracture and will continue to receive hospital care over the coming days.

The Jamaica international is the club’s all-time leading scorer in the Premier League, with 68 goals in 268 league appearances.

Speaking prior to kick-off, West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen told Sky Sports: “Everyone loves Mic, he is big character and waiting for news on the Saturday was difficult.

“He is not just a team-mate, he is a friend and has been for many years – a dad as well, to beautiful children. I just want to say thank you to all the support from everyone. As captain I’ve seen all the messages and support Mic has got.

“It is one of those things where life is bigger than football. The main thing is Mic is safe and well and he is here to tell the story. He is a warrior and a fighter, he always has been, through his career and I know he will be back stronger for this.”

Manager Julen Lopetegui added: “Fortunately he was a miracle, looking at the picture of the the car. These are more important things, the person, the dad, the brother.

“We are happy because he overcame the surgery that he had yesterday.”

There was also a minute’s applause for Antonio in the ninth minute at the London Stadium once the game against Wolves had kicked off.

The Hammers said the special ‘Antonio 9′ shirts, walking-out tops and the players’ match-worn shirts will be signed and auctioned off, with the proceeds donated to the National Health Service and Air Ambulances UK.

In a statement, the club added it “would like to reiterate 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”.
