Michail Antonio has been called up to the Jamaica international squad for their upcoming three FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Mexico, Panama and Costa Rice.
The Hammers striker faces an 11,000 mile round trip to represent his country while the rest of the West Ham squad are handed a rest during the Premier League's winter break.
Jamaica face three crucial matches over seven days in their bid to reach their first World Cup since 1998 leading to fears for Antonio's fitness with the striker prone to injury over recent seasons.
