According to the reports, Michail Antonio is flying to Dubai today to begin the next stage of his automobile accident recovery.
The West Ham striker will spend almost two weeks in a training center in the United Arab Emirates, returning on February 20.
On December 7, Antonio, 34, was transferred by plane to the hospital with a broken leg after being cut from the remains of his gray Ferrari of £ 260,000 by fire teams in Essex.
After colliding with a tree on his way home by training at Empiping Forest, the striker was trapped for more than 45 minutes and feared for his life.
He needed surgery and on the eve of the New Year published a positive update that expressed his gratitude to God for being alive, sharing a photo of him in crutches. It is not clear when he will return to football, although it is very unlikely to be this season, and his contract expires at the end of June.
Anyway, he has taken a step in the right direction with this last development that he is making a trip to Dubai, according to The sun.

“Every year, at this time, they ask me why I am grateful, and every year I have fought to find the right words,” began his statement of December 31.
'But this year, I know exactly what I am grateful for: being alive.
'I want to take a moment to recognize something that I have come to do: I have spent so many years giving life for granted. I made plans for the next day, the following year, always assuming that tomorrow was guaranteed.
'I have seen nearby friends, witnessed that others face experiences close to death, and even then, I did not understand how precious life is.
'What I have recently passed my eyes. Life is fragile, and every moment matters.
'I am very grateful to God for giving me strength to move forward and for allowing me to be here.
'To emergency services, the NHS, the air ambulance, all in the Royal London and Cromwell hospitals and all from top to bottom in West Ham United FC. The medical team, the Board, all staff, my teammates and the incredible fans of the West Ham … honestly, I could not have overcome this without you. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
'For my loved ones who stopped by my side throughout everything, I can't express how much you mean for me.
