Bayern Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso is poised to discipline Nigerian forward Victor Boniface following allegations of reckless driving and mobile phone use on a highway in Germany.
The 23-year-old forward sparked outrage after posting an image on social media showing himself scrolling through his phone while driving his Mercedes-Benz. The incident has drawn widespread criticism, with many calling it irresponsible and dangerous.
Speaking to BeIN Sports, Alonso expressed his disapproval of Boniface’s actions, emphasizing the seriousness of the matter. “I don’t like it; it’s obviously not good, and of course, it’s not allowed to happen,” the Leverkusen manager stated. “I haven’t seen Boni yet, but he knows such behavior is unacceptable.”
The Nigerian international, a key player for Bayer Leverkusen, now faces potential internal disciplinary measures as the club seeks to address the situation. This development underscores the high standards of professionalism expected from athletes both on and off the field.
While no official punishment has been announced, the incident serves as a cautionary tale for professional athletes and public figures about the importance of adhering to safety regulations and being mindful of their public image.
Fans and observers await further updates on the club’s response to this controversy.
