Bayer Leverkusen's Victor Boniface to miss Brest game after being involved in car accident

Bayer Leverkusen forward, Victor Boniface, will miss the club's Champions League match against Brest after being involved in a car accident over the weekend. The 23-year-old was a passenger when the car, driven by a friend, collided with a lorry. The incident occurred as they were en route to Frankfurt Airport. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, though Boniface sustained cuts to his arm and missed training sessions. He will not be part of the traveling squad to France.

Leverkusen's managing director for sport confirmed that Boniface and the driver were unharmed in the accident. He emphasized the importance of Boniface's safety and the need for cautious recovery assessment. Despite the incident's seriousness, it is fortunate there were no major injuries.

Boniface has been in impressive form, scoring seven goals in ten appearances for his team this season, including netting during Leverkusen's 2-1 victory the day before the accident. The team has made a strong start in the Champions League with wins against Feyenoord and AC Milan. Boniface's availability for the upcoming Bundesliga match against Werder Bremen remains uncertain.
