'I'm not coming to train' - Antonio swallows ego to ensure Qatar move
Michail Antonio says he had to "swallow his ego" after his near‑fatal car crash as he prepares to make his first club appearance in 15 months.
The 35-year-old striker, who has joined Qatari side Al‑Sailiya, says owners of English clubs were wary of signing him following his accident in December 2024, which left him with multiple leg fractures.
He returned to competitive action with the Jamaica national team with three substitute appearances in June - his only football since the crash.
But Antonio told BBC Sport he "feels like a schoolboy again" as he looks to prove his fitness during his spell in the Qatar Stars League.
