Nigerian striker Victor Boniface has been sidelined for the rest of the year following a muscle fiber tear in his thigh. The injury was sustained during Nigeria’s World Cup qualifier against Rwanda, with the Nigerian Football Federation confirming its severity.
This development marks a major setback for Boniface and his club, Bayer Leverkusen. The talented forward has been a standout performer in the Bundesliga this season, contributing significantly to his team’s success with his dynamic attacking play and goal-scoring prowess.
Boniface’s absence is expected to pose challenges for Bayer Leverkusen, as they will need to adjust their attacking strategies without one of their key players. It also disrupts the momentum of the 23-year-old, who had been making notable progress in both domestic and international football.
