Bayer Leverkusen’s forward, Victor Boniface, was involved in a car accident on Sunday but is thankfully safe, with only minor injuries. The club confirmed that Boniface was driving his Mercedes-Benz to the airport to pick up some friends when the accident occurred. His car collided with an oncoming truck.

Fans of the Bundesliga champion team were worried after hearing the news, but Bayer Leverkusen quickly reassured everyone. According to the club, Boniface only suffered two small injuries to his hand, and he is otherwise fine.

Boniface, who is 23 years old, has been in great form lately. Just a day before the accident, he played a key role in Bayer Leverkusen’s 2-1 win against Eintracht Frankfurt. He scored the winning goal 18 minutes before the final whistle, making up for an earlier penalty miss.

His recent performances have made him a fan favorite, and supporters will be glad to know he is recovering well. The club’s statement has brought relief, and Boniface is expected to return to full fitness soon.
