Michail Antonio heads to Dubai for next stage of rehab programme eight weeks after terrifying car crash that left £260k Ferrari smashed to pieces and striker needing surgery
West Ham star Michail Antonio is reportedly flying out to Dubai to step up his rehab following his horror car crash.
The 34-year-old needed surgery on a broken leg after crashing his £260,000 Ferrari in December. After being discharged from hospital before Christmas, The Sun claims the striker is flying to Dubai on Friday to spend nearly a fortnight at a training facility in Dubai to help with his recovery.

The Jamaica international is, arguably, lucky to be alive as a result of the crash, with the Hammers man having to be cut free from the wreckage and then airlifted to hospital. He is out of contract this summer and it remains to be seen if he will get a new West Ham deal.

Antonio has reportedly visited West Ham's training ground on a few occasions since new head Graham Potter took charge at London Stadium in January.
