Michail Antonio is hoping for a call-up against Spurs this week but is desperately sorry Dimi Payet is sidelined.Speaking to the official site ahead of the game he said: “”Dimitri has been absolutely superb so far so he will be greatly missed. It’s time for the other boys to step up and show what they can do.”
Dimitri getting injured is a great loss as well as Enner. Their absence gives other players the chance toto show what they can do.”When I joined, I knew it wasn’t going to be easy to break through and stake my claim in the Premier League. It’s one of those things where I need to wait and bide my time.”
And on this week’s game he said: “I’ve been part of quite a few derbies, my first ever game for Sheffield Wednesday was the Steel City derby, I’ve been in the Southampton v Portsmouth derby and the Nottingham Forest v Derby County derby.
“They are always great matches to be involved with so I can’t wait to be involved in the Tottenham v West Ham derby.”
