West Ham are continuing to support Michail Antonio’s recovery despite his contract officially expiring on Monday.
The club have granted the 34-year-old full access to the Rush Green gym and training facilities as he works on regaining full fitness following injury.
While Antonio is now a free agent and weighing up offers from other clubs, the Hammers have opted to help the long-serving striker maintain his match sharpness.

The Jamaican international is determined to stay in top condition as he explores his next move. Whether West Ham go on and offer Mikey a deal is too early to say but it’s nice to see such a good releationship between player and club after nearly a decade of service.
On a much sadder note, I couldn’t really write anything today without mentioning the tragic death of Liverpool striker Diego Jota. The 28 year old was involved in a car accident in Spain yesterday and died as a result of his injuries.
Jota only married two weeks ago and the news is incredibly sad for family, friends and of course Liverpool fans who will have been shocked to wake up to the horrible news this morning.
Jota was an excellent footballer who has lost his life far too young in such tragic circumstances. Of course heartfelt condolences go out to his loved ones.
