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.

This is the five time rookie of Bundesliga award winner, absent for his country and also his club. This news reminds me immediately about Christopher Nkuku who also got Injured during the last few days of the Fifa World Cup Competition.
Right now, Nigerian Football Federation has only Ademola Lookman, Chukwueze, Simon Moses and Victor Oshime as the major driving force for their attack. I'm confident with what they have in attack but they literally lacks midfielder's who are competent.
Xabi Alonso though played the last game without starting Boniface, I saw it as a means to checkmate what he won't be having for month, they played well so I expect dame pattern.
