MICHAIL Antonio has made his first appearance since suffering serious injuries in a car crash last December. 

West Ham United striker Antonio, 35, came on as an 85th-minute substitute for Jamaica in their 1-0 defeat to Guatemala in the group stage of their Gold Cup game in California on Monday. 

Wandsworth’s Antonio suffered a badly broken leg in the accident which happened when his Ferrari went off the road and struck a tree in Epping Forest. 

He required surgery and spent three weeks in hospital. 

Antonio’s contract with the Hammers is due to run out at the end of this month with the club yet to make a decision over the future of their all-time leading Premier League scorer (68 goals in 268 games). 

Antonio joined West Ham from Nottingham Forest for £7million in 2015.
