# West Ham: Fans react to Michail Antonio injury update

**Many associated with West Ham may have been worried when Michail Antonio limped off [injured](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/west-ham-man-city-live-19158801) last weekend in the draw against Manchester City.**

However, the latest update from The [Athletic](https://theathletic.com/podcast/158-u-irons-a-show-about-west-ham-united/) suggests he could be in contention to face Liverpool on Saturday night. After various [West Ham news pages](https://twitter.com/WHUFC_News_6/status/1321747374574837760?s=20) posted the news on Twitter, many Irons fans have shared their views on the injury update.

Earlier this month, Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp heaped a lot of praise on the forward. [He said:](https://tbrfootball.com/harry-redknapp-blown-away-by-west-ham-striker-michail-antonio/) “He is frightening. Ability, skill, he scores goals. What a threat to any defence.”

Antonio is a crucial asset to David Moyes’ squad, with three goals so far this term and eight goals in the last six Premier League games of last season [(Transfermarkt).](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/michail-antonio/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/104124/verein/379) Therefore, it would be a huge boost if he is back to face the reigning Premier League champions this weekend.

### Here is how Hammers fans are reacting to this Antonio update:

> Is it worth the risk though? If it’s not 100% fully fit and we play him….
