Antonio has been one of the few bright spots for Slaven Bilic’s floundering side. Unfortunately, the winger re-aggravated a hamstring injury in last weekend’s victory over Swansea. It is not yet known how long he will be out.
This couldn’t come at a worse time for the Hammers as Antonio has been one of the few mainstays of the squad. West Ham are close to safety with 36 points. However, they are not yet mathematically secure.
There are six matches remaining. If Antonio can recover in time, he will have the chance to help the Hammers and add to his numbers.
