He shared pictures with blood on his hands while his face had no injuries.
He took to X on Sunday with a post that simply read: “God is the greatest”.
There has been no statement from Leverkusen on the incident and there is no indication whether the former Union Saint-Gilloise forward will be fit enough to face Brest in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.
God is the greatest ❤️
