West Ham attacker Antonio confident about Arsenal return

West Ham United attacker Michail Antonio is confident he will face Arsenal on Monday night.

Antonio returned after three months on the sidelines in last weekend's win over Chelsea, but he tweaked his groin and missed the midweek match at Wolves.

He said: "I played 75 minutes last Saturday, which was the most I played all season, including pre-season, so coming back from three months out injured it was just a bit too much for my body.

"I felt a little tweak in my groin, but it's feeling good now and hopefully I'll be ready for Monday.

"Injuries are part and parcel of the game, but I've always played a good chunk of the games every year. I've always been good with dealing with it, so I take it and make sure I come back fitter and stronger."
