West Ham star Michail Antonio forced to take SCISSORS to his own kit for unusual problem
MICHAIL ANTONIO has been forced to take scissors to his own kit due to an unusual problem.
The striker’s shirt has appeared slightly differently to his team-mates’ jerseys so far this season.
It comes after he complained about the feel of the Hammers’ new Umbro strip.
Antonio felt the collar was too tight around his neck during the early weeks of the campaign.
As a result, he has been cutting a slit into his collar, which is visible during matches.
He once again had a self-made cut as he lined up against Tottenham last weekend, though.
The Hammers enjoyed a disappointing return from the international break as they fell to a 4-1 loss to their London rivals.
Antonio, who started the match, played 61 minutes before being replaced by Crysencio Summerville.
The Jamaica international has one goal and one assist in eight Premier League appearances this season.
He is also into his 10th season with the Hammers, although his current contract expires at the end of the season.

West Ham fans will be hoping Antonio can add to his tally at the London Stadium on Sunday.
Manchester United are the visitors, with the Hammers able to leapfrog their opponents with a victory.
Julen Lopetegui’s side can even jump as high as 10th from their current position of 15th if they win this weekend.
