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.

Theoretically, taking into account the fact that if not for the injury, Boniface would have taken part in the African Cup and would still have been absent from Bayer's upcoming games, Xabi should already have some kind of plan. But now the situation has become more complicated since restoration within the specified time frame is not guaranteed.
I'm shocked that Boniface scored 10 goals and are the club's top scorer, but the club's second top scorer is defender Grimaldo (7 goals)
Maybe he should finally change his position?
So again, Victor Boniface's role is not only as a goal scoring machine but also as a player who can attract opposing defenders so that his teammates have a good chance of scoring goals. It seems that even though it is not a position that should be important, as long as Leverkusen has these 3 players, I don't think there will be any problems that arise in the future. While Leverkusen waits for Victor Boniface to recover from injury, Xabi Alonso will still be able to utilize the existing squad without having to buy players this January.
