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.

Bayer Leverkusen certainly does not expect this because the club really hopes that he will always be fit to continue to help his team achieve victory in league matches, and when it comes to plays against Leipzig and Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga match and the DFB Cup quarter-final against Stuttgart it will be very difficult for Leverkusen without Boniface.
Victor Boniface is a very important striker of Leverkusen. He scored 16 goals and 7 assists in 16 matches. He played very well. But we must not forget that the Leverkusen team is not dependent on any particular player this season. Victor Boniface scored 16 goals. However, the Leverkusen team is not completely dependent on Victor Boniface. Xabi Alonso is quite an experienced coach. He will surely find a worthy replacement for Victor Boniface. However, I don't think Leverkusen's performance will suffer much if a suitable replacement is not found. I am still optimistic about Leverkusen's consistent performance.
