The last week lived by Victor Boniface It’s bordering on the absurd. The Bayer Leverkusen striker in fact ended up in the limelight for scoring the winning goal against Eintracht last Saturday (2-1), but a few hours later he was involved in a road accident on Sunday morning: for him no serious injury, just a few wounds. But from the images of the destroyed car the Nigerian really escaped a disaster.
According to the reconstructions of the German police, Boniface’s driver lost control of the car due to tiredness, lost control and skidded against a truck. So the Mercedes overturned due to the impact. Here, all just a few days after the commitment Champions League against the Brestscheduled for this Wednesday.
Given the developments of the story, in fact, Victor Boniface appears absent from the list of players called up of Leverkusen for the European trip, as communicated by the club itself. Also Xabi Alonsohis coach, announced it in the press conference: “We spoke with him, it was nothing serious, but it was an accident that had an impact. He didn’t train yesterday, he didn’t train today. He feels better, but he wasn’t ready for tomorrow, so we used these few days to make him feel better and recover from the emotional shock. Physically he is very good, but perhaps it was better not to let him enter the field after an event like this”, commented the Spaniard.
