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.
This is a big loss for Bayer, and it’s even more disappointing when a player receives such injuries in games for the national team. I see that it is predicted that Boniface will be out for two to three months, in addition, he will still need time to recover after such a long pause. This will be a difficult time for Bayer, losing the leader of the attack is always difficult, but maybe this will allow Grimaldo, or other players, to prove themselves in his absence.
Of course, losing a main player will definitely make Bayer Leverkusen suffer a big loss because Boniface is Xabi's best recruit among the other strikers that Leverkusen has because he is the one the team can rely on indeed, this is the fate of Bayer. As a coach of course not only relying on just 1 key player, the team must be able to get up and work together so that their performance doesn't decline, I'm sure Xabi can do it, even though he is a young coach but his abilities are extraordinary and there is no doubt that he is very good at providing tactics for his players so they don't experienced defeat.
