What do we think?
Antonio is not the most gifted player in the Irons squad, nor is he the most prolific goalscorer, but he is someone who grafts for the shirt and is also a handful for defenders to deal with.
Last weekend he was partnered with Sebastien Haller, and Haller seemed to come alive with the big Frenchman scoring his second goal since August.
Antonio is a player who has taken some stick in the past but in recent months has emerged as a real fan-favourite at the London Stadium.
Last season he scored seven goals in 33 appearances, including the winner against Tottenham Hotspur.
However, no one could have predicted that without him, West Ham would only win two games.
His return has gone down well with many Hammers supporters who are happy to have the former Nottingham Forest man back to full fitness.
