Injured West Ham star Michail Antonio has posted a positive 7-word comeback message on social media after his setback.

West Ham have been without Michail Antonio since he was injured during the November international break.

Initially some reports suggested the injury could keep Antonio out for over three months.

But there was good news for the Hammers when the forward returned to training earlier this month.

As has been so typical of West Ham’s start to the new year, though, Antonio suffered a setback just over a week ago after slipping over in training.

Antonio’s positive 7-word comeback message

Reports claimed the Jamaican had been ruled out for another six weeks.

It was the last thing David Moyes needed after injuries to Lucas Paqueta and Jarrod Bowen and with Mohammed Kudus away at AFCON until next month.

But there has been some welcome good news on Sunday.

Because injured West Ham star Antonio has posted a positive 7-word comeback message on social media.

“Smashing through the setback,” Antonio said on X alongside Hammers, hard work and hourglass emojis.

“Visualising the comeback,” he added along with a COYI hashtag.

A good news week

Antonio’s encouraging message is the latest in a string of more positive updates on West Ham’s players this week.

A Hammers insider has made a game-changing claim about Bowen’s injury.

There was more good news for West Ham when Paqueta posted a video in training on social media.

And with Ghana highly unlikely to go deep at AFCON, Kudus could be back much sooner than many expected as well.

Not only that, Konstantinos Mavropanos – who also left the field injured last time out against Bristol City – is already back in training.

The big Greek defender is expected to be fit for the FA Cup third round replay against the Championship side.

It’s a far cry from the doom and gloom that had descended on the club just a week ago.
