He has not played club football since December 2024, when his car crashed into a tree while driving home from training. The accident caused multiple fractures in his femur, requiring surgery and more than three weeks in the hospital.
He returned to the field in June 2025 when he came on as an 85th-minute substitute for Jamaica in the 1–0 Gold Cup group stage defeat to Guatemala.
Antonio joined West Ham in 2015 and has played 323 games and scored 83 goals in all competitions. He is also the club’s all-time top scorer in the Premier League with 68 goals.
