Michail Antonio of West Ham United, recovering from a serious car crash, expressed gratitude for being alive and announced his intention to return to football soon. Despite his injuries, Antonio, a key player for West Ham, is currently undergoing a lengthy rehabilitation process after successful surgery.

Expressing thankfulness, Antonio wrote, "Every year around this time, I struggle to find what I'm grateful for, but this year it's easy: being alive." The crash's outcome was deemed a "miracle" by West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui. Antonio acknowledged the efforts of emergency services and West Ham United FC in his recovery.
