Bayer Leverkusen’s sporting director, Simon Rolfes, has provided an update that’s left fans on the edge of their seats: the club will soon make a crucial decision regarding Victor Boniface’s inclusion in the squad for their upcoming game against Brest. This comes after the Nigerian international was involved in a car accident on Sunday, sustaining minor injuries that have since kept him from participating in training sessions.
The 23-year-old’s absence from Monday’s training was keenly felt as the team began their intense preparations for the vital UEFA Champions League away match. Despite the setback, Rolfes expressed optimism about Boniface’s recovery: “He’s doing better. A situation like this isn’t easy and there’s no doubt that you have to digest it a bit. Of course, we’re all very happy that nothing really happened to him,” he shared in an interview with Bild.
Boniface’s presence on the pitch could be a game-changer for Leverkusen, known for his impressive skills and strategic play. However, the club is taking a cautious approach to ensure his well-being. “We’ll talk to him again now and then see what the situation is, whether he’ll go or not. That’s still open at the moment,” Rolfes added, emphasizing the ongoing nature of their decision-making process.
Fans and teammates alike are relieved that Boniface escaped serious harm. The news of his accident was met with widespread concern, but the latest updates have brought a sense of relief. The upcoming match against Brest is a significant fixture, and the decision on whether Boniface will participate is eagerly awaited. As the Bundesliga champions continue their preparations, all eyes are on Boniface and the club’s final call regarding his availability.
