“He’s better now. A situation like this isn’t easy, and there’s no doubt you have to process it. Of course, we’re all very relieved that nothing serious happened to him,” Rolfes told Bild.
Following further assessment, the club has decided to rest the 23-year-old, who also missed training on Monday. Boniface will be replaced in the squad by Francis Onyeka.
Super Eagles forward, Victor Boniface was involved in a serious Car crash.
