West Ham have confirmed that striker Michail Antonio has been involved in a car crash.
The club’s official statement said: “West Ham United can confirm striker Michail Antonio has today been involved in a road traffic accident.
The thoughts and prayers of everyone at the club are with Michail, his family and friends at this time.”The Club will issue an update in due course.
Thomas Tuchel will have no input on England’s squad selections for the upcoming UEFA Nations League games against Greece and Ireland, as his official duties don’t begin until January 1.
The FA confirmed his start date, meaning he won’t influence the interim manager Lee Carsley’s squad choices or attend England’s World Cup qualifying draw on December 13.
Tuchel’s absence is deliberate, allowing Carsley to complete the Nations League campaign without interference, despite the possible impact on England” World Cup qualifiers if they fail to beat Greece.
Carsley faces key decisions, particularly around players like Reece James, who recently returned to Chelsea, and the fitness of regulars such as John Stones and Jack Grealish.
