He was on his way to the airport to meet up
with his team-mates to fly out to South Africa for a training camp. He
was just 20.
Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs said in a
statement:
"We are all deeply saddened and our disbelief can hardly be
put into words. We can't believe he is no longer with us. Our thoughts
at this difficult time are with his family and loved ones. He was the
good spirit of our team and a
fun-loving person. In addition, Junior was an excellent football player
who was only at the very beginning of his development."
Junior Malanda made 15 appearances for the German Bundesliga side this
season. His last game was a 2-1 win over Cologne on 20 December. May his
soul rest in peace, amen.
