ESPN – Premier league footballer Michail Antonio has been involved in a serious car crash in Essex near London and got airlifted to hospital.
West Ham forward Michail Antonio was involved in a “road traffic accident” on Saturday, the Premier League club has announced.
“The thoughts and prayers of everyone at the Club are with Michail, his family and friends at this time,” West Ham said in a statement.
“The Club will issue an update in due course.”
West Ham provided no further details. They are due to face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Monday.
Liverpool‘s Premier League clash with Everton at Goodison Park has been postponed due to adverse weather conditions on Merseyside.
The four other Premier League games Saturday remained on as planned.
The final league Merseyside derby at Goodison — ahead of Everton’s move to a new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock — was set to kick off at 12.30 p.m on Saturday.
However, it has now been confirmed the match will not go ahead owing to the effects of Storm Darragh, with strong winds of up to 70mph forecast in the region.
Conversations between the two clubs and the local authorities took place on Saturday morning, with concerns for safety of supporters travelling to Goodison leading to the call to postpone being made. The fixture is now likely to be rearranged as a night game later in the season.
An Everton statement on Saturday morning said: “Following a Safety Advisory Group meeting at Goodison Park, attended by officials from both clubs, as well as representatives from Merseyside Police and Liverpool City Council this morning, it was decided that, due to the risk to safety in the local area due to strong wind gusts, and an amber severe wind warning that remains in place until 6 a.m on Sunday, today’s fixture should be postponed on safety grounds.
