Michail Antonio reveals who was behind West Ham squad's Andriy Yarmolenko tribute

Michail Antonio has revealed that it was Mark Noble's idea for the West Ham players to pay tribute to their teammate Andriy Yarmolenko and the people of Ukraine ahead of the Hammers clash with Wolves last weekend.

During the warm-up the West Ham players all had No.7 Yarmolenko printed on the back of their training tops whilst the Wolves squad had "No To War" t-shirts on. The two teams were sending a message of support to Ukraine with the Hammers in particular thinking of their teammate and Ukrainian international Yarmolenko.

Messages of support were shown on the big screens in the ground adorned with a picture of Yarmolenko in international colours and Hammers striker Antonio has revealed it was club captain Noble's idea to show their support for Yarmolenko in this way.
