West Ham United attacker Michail Antonio is expected to miss the rest of the season with the hamstring problem that he picked up against Southampton at the weekend.
Antonio was forced off inside the first 10 minutes of the Premier League clash at the London Stadium, which West Ham won 3-0 to boost their hopes of avoiding relegation to the Championship.
It is understood that the 28-year-old, who has scored three times in 21 appearances this season, will be unavailable for the remainder of the 2017-18 campaign in what is a huge blow to the Hammers.

Antonio actually suffered a torn hamstring last April – which required surgery – and there is a fear that the Englishman will never be able to fully overcome his injury problems.
Some West Ham fans seem to have lost faith in Antonio, but there are plenty that are backing the attacker to return stronger for the 2018-19 campaign.
