(Reuters) - West Ham United forward Michail Antonio is confident he will be able to play again after suffering a serious leg injury in a road accident in December.

Antonio's car hit a tree on his way home from training, shattering the Jamaica international's femur in four places, and he spent over three weeks in hospital after undergoing surgery.
