Bayer Leverkusen have provided an update on the condition of Nigeria international Victor Boniface following his involvement in a car accident in Germany.
The incident occurred on Sunday, hours after Boniface helped guide Leverkusen to a 2-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.
In a social media post, which has since been deleted, the 23-year-old striker shared images and videos of the aftermath of the crash, showing his severely damaged car.
Alongside the images, Boniface wrote, “God is the greatest” and “God says my time hasn’t come,” reflecting his relief at surviving the accident.
According to reports from German outlet Bild, Boniface was a passenger in the vehicle, which collided with a truck on the A3 highway between Bad Camberg and Idstein.
The car was en route to Frankfurt Airport when the driver, allegedly fatigued, lost control and skidded into the truck, causing the vehicle to overturn.
Both Boniface and the driver were taken to the hospital for treatment.
Leverkusen reassured fans about Boniface’s condition, stating, “He is fine.”
The Nigerian forward sustained only minor injuries to his hand, and both he and the driver were released from the hospital after examinations.
The striker has since returned safely to Cologne.
