Antonio hopes high but surgery option possible

|

antonio2707abcWest Ham are sweating on Michail Antonio’s groin injury clearing upĀ  over the next two weeks as he bids to return to full training.

The medics are very optimistic that will be the case but should there be snags last season’s Hammer of the Year could face TWO operations!

David Moyes has revealed that it will take 14 days for the club to know where they are with the injury which remains a threat over the player’s season.

ClaretandHugh has learned thatĀ  should he still be struggling at the end of a fortnight a “simple” operation will be required which would keep him out of action for a further month.

However, that particular operation is not totally guaranteed to cure the problem and a second bout of surgery could be required which carries a cast-iron certainty of full recovery.

The club is adopting a wait and see approach but may then be approach over the next fortnight before deciding whether to go straight for the “guaranteed” surgery option which would ensure that a month came off his recovery programme.
