Michail Antonio has been pictured back in training!
The West Ham star has been battling an hamstring injury since the 1-1 draw with Manchester City back in October.
He has been absent for three games as a result, with the Hammers losing to Liverpool and beating both Fulham and Sheffield United.
Seb Haller scored against the Blades but Antonio is in contention to play against Aston Villa on Monday evening, and the club posted a photo of Antonio in training – a picture we have all been desperate to see!
Take a look at the images below…
You love to see it 😍

Antonio has been in excellent form this season, scoring three goals in six games, and could be central to the hopes of the Irons for the remainder of the season.
It is telling, of course, that the Irons have scored a goal a game without Antonio in the team; they netted 12 goals in the six games he featured in prior to his injury.
Got to start with Haller first half on Monday. To protect Antonio only let him play 70 mins per match as he tears up and down the pitch so often. We still need another in January tho.
He was pictured back in training last week too. Made no difference. Didn’t make the bench
But he will this
