# West Ham fans overjoyed as Michail Antonio returns to action

[Michail Antonio](https://readwestham.com/2020/12/28/michail-antonio-injury-latest-return-southampton/) made a second return to action this season from a hamstring problem that has plagued him for over two months and [West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2020/12/29/west-ham-arkadiusz-milik-transfer-advantage-spurs/) fans were in a buoyant mood to see their main man back.

The 30-year-old striker has only seen an[ill-fated 45 minutes](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/west-ham-michail-antonio-injury-latest-david-moyes-crystal-palace-b323798.html) of action since he came off[against Manchester City in October](https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2020/october/25-october/extended-highlights-west-ham-united-1-1-manchester-city) but made his comeback to training this week before coming on for the final moments at St Mary’s.

Despite not being in the ground to see their[talismanic striker make his much-anticipated return](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8999191/Fit-West-Ham-talisman-Michail-Antonio-keen-face-Aston-Villa.html)– West Ham fans found a way to make their unconfounded joy heard.
