In an update to X, the club confirmed that Michail is in a “stable condition” and remains in hospital following the single vehicle collision.
The dad-of-four is “under strict supervision” but is “conscious and communicating”.
“West Ham United can confirm that Michail Antonio is in a stable condition following a car accident this afternoon in the Essex area,” the club wrote on social media.
“Michail is conscious and communicating and is currently under intensive care in a central London hospital.
“At this difficult time, we ask everyone to respect the privacy of Mikhail and his family.
“The club will not be making any further comment tonight but will issue a further update in due course.”
They previously shared: “West Ham United can confirm that striker Michail Antonio was involved in a road traffic accident today.
“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.”
Photos from the scene show extensive damage to the front of the vehicle.
Michail has been at West Ham United since 2015 and has played in a variety of positions, including right-back, right-midfield and as a winger.
He eventually established himself as the club’s main striker and on 23 August 2021 became West Ham’s top scorer in the Premier League.
Fans on Xu were quick to send their best wishes and prayers after the latest update.
One said: “Amazing news. Get well soon Michail, take all the time you need.”
Another added: “Good news! Glad to hear that.”
A third said: “We wish Michail Antonio a speedy recovery. Glad to hear he is in a stable condition.
“Thoughts are with him and his family at this difficult time. Hoping for a full and speedy recovery.”
A spokesman for Essex Police said: “Officers investigating a serious collision in Epping are appealing for witnesses and CCTV footage.
“We were called shortly after 12.50pm on Saturday 7th December to Coppice Row, Epping, following reports of what is believed to be a single vehicle collision involving a Ferrari.
“The emergency services came and the driver was taken to the hospital.
“The vehicle has been removed and we are no longer on the scene.
“The investigation will be carried out by our Road Police Department.
“If you have any information, CCTV, CCTV or other footage relating to this incident please contact us.
“Please quote incident 605 of December 7 when giving any information to ensure it gets to the right person as quickly as possible.
“Alternatively, email the investigator, PS Mark Hewitt.”
Michail previously spoke about a car crash on Christmas Day 2019 when the footballer drove his £210,000 Lamborghini into a south London garden while dressed as a snowman.
“This conversation is very much like … (touches chest),” he previously told the On The Judy podcast. “It still hurts me to this day.
“Mostly yes, slippery road. Obviously, in the car, it handles corners well so I’m going like 30, maybe 35, on a 30 road.
“It holds the turns so I don’t even need to crash, I’ll just go around the corner, painful car.”
“While I’m going around the corner, it slips. So I f*ck and hit the breaks.
“Worst thing you can do on ice, yeah, slam on the brakes because you’re just speeding up. Slam on the brakes, just skid, but I just went up on the curb.
“I don’t even remember that, and then I see smoke coming out of the front of the car.”
Antonio made 15 appearances this season and scored once.
He is the club’s all-time Premier League top scorer with 68 goals.
The striker joined the club in 2015 from Nottingham Forest and was named the club’s player of the year in 2017.
