Antonio ruled out for the rest of the season

West Ham have been dealt a huge injury blow with the news that Michail Antonio will not play again this season.

The London Evening Standard reports that the player will miss the remaining fixtures this season with a hamstring injury.

Antonio was taken off during the club’s 3-0 victory against Southampton over the weekend.

The versatile attacker tried an effort at goal and appeared to injure himself during the process, leaving the pitch in floods of tears.

The injury is another setback for the player who has been unable to find any form of consistency this season.

Antonio was not included in England’s recent friendlies against the Netherlands and Italy, however, this latest injury all-but-confirms that the player will not feature for the Three Lions in Russia at the World Cup.

The victory over the Saints lifted the club five points above the drop zone with seven games remaining this season.
