Antonio returned to the pitch in June, when he came off the bench for Jamaica in the Gold Cup match against Guatemala. The striker was also instrumental in ending West Ham’s 43-year trophy drought, playing a decisive role in the club’s UEFA Europa Conference League triumph in 2023, when they defeated Fiorentina in the final in Prague. Michail Antonio also scored the last-ever goal at the club’s historic ground, the Boleyn Ground, in West Ham’s final match there – a win over Manchester United in 2016.
