Antonio crashed his Ferrari into a tree just outside London on a wet and windy day on Dec. 7.

In an interview with the BBC, the Jamaica international said he broke his femur bone in four places and required an operation where surgeons “put a pole in my thigh with four bolts.”

Antonio, who turns 35 this month, recently went to see the remains of his car at a scrapyard. He said: “It gave me a weird feeling in my stomach. It just made me realize how close I was to dying.”

He has been told his rehabilitation will take “between six-to-12 months” before his leg heals properly, and feels he is “already two-to-three months ahead of where I should be.”

“Yes, 100%. I will play again,” he said.
