"Did him good": Potter on Antonio's recovery after car accident

West Ham forward Michail Antonio was involved in a car accident in early December, which sidelined him from football for an entire year. Recently, he traveled to Dubai for rehabilitation, and Hammers head coach Graham Potter has provided an update on his progress.

Details: Potter stated that the trip to the UAE benefited Antonio, but discussions about his return to action are still far too premature.

Quote: “He went to Dubai, and it did him good. He’s expected back on Friday, and I think it was a good step in his rehabilitation. From what I hear from the medical team, Michail’s recovery is going in the right direction. There’s no need to rush things, but the signs are definitely positive.

I haven’t spoken to him since he left, but I’m looking forward to seeing him when he returns. I wouldn’t make any assumptions about a possible return after the international break. As I said, given the severity of the injury and the incident, it’s crucial that he gets the time he needs from the medical staff. I wouldn’t want to put a timeline on his return because that wouldn’t be fair to him,” Potter said.
