Breaking News!Bad news has come for Leverkusen because their mainstay striker this season, Victor Boniface, is reportedly injured and will be out for 6 weeks. The player from Nigeria also had to miss AFCON and I think this is a loss experienced by Nigeria and Leverkusen because they have to lose a very important figure in the competition. Victor Boniface has a right muscle-tendon injury and will undergo surgery in the next few days.
It seems that the intensity of the existing competition meant he had to step aside early before AFCON and the Bundesliga at the start of this year. Once again, Victor Boniface is a victim of the national competition he has to play for and previously we knew at Leverkusen he had no injury problems at all. Obviously this will be the biggest loss for Leverkusen because they lost the spearhead of their attack while currently topping the standings.

Im not really sure xabi will be feeling panic caused by he must be seeing one of his key player out for weeks. Im not seeing it as a serious problem caused by there were many solutions are available right now.
Xabi is having a lot of solutions to fix this problem. The secondary striker is not that bad to replace him when he will be out for a few weeks. People shall not be feeling panic caused by leverkusen has xabi on its side. He knew that the best for his club.
I trust on xabi and he knew what needs to be done to make sure missing boniface will not be really impacting the performance from the club. It was a bit blow for leverkusen but since injury can't be avoided then what's next?
Leverkusen may be starting to search for the new striker.
