Boniface was involved in a terrible car accident on Sunday morning.

“He is not in the squad. After what happened, it’s also a precautionary measure,” Alonso told a press conference.
“He’s missing for health reasons. He has a small wound on his hand, a small cut on his right foot. But the shock is bigger.
“Physically he is better but it is also an emotional issue. He feels good but he is not ready for tomorrow.”
Boniface has scored seven goals across all competitions, including one in the Champions League this season.
