German Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen and Nigerian forward Victor Boniface, on Sunday evening, survived a car accident that badly damaged his car. The 23-year-old took to his social media handles to post images and video footage of the incident, dripping blood in the arm, and his black sports car smashed.
The posts were later deleted, but German newspaper Bild reports Boniface is “doing well considering the circumstances” and sustained only minor injuries, according to a source close to the player. For his part, Boniface wrote on social media, “God is the greatest” and “God says my time hasn’t come.”
Leverkusen have yet to comment on the accident officially.
Since last season, Boniface has been one of the consistent performers in Leverkusen. He was part of the historic Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double for the club and recently made his maiden call-up to the Nigerian national team.
This campaign, the striker has scored seven goals in 10 appearances across all competitions. He had a penalty miss, but he scored the winner in Leverkusen’s 2-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.
The availability of Boniface, ahead of Leverkusen’s Champions League game with Brest on Wednesday remains unknown.
