Leverkusen is still having patrik schick as the secondary striker and im not seeing it as an important thing. Boniface was injury then what's next? what i can say that if just try to let him recover himself. It will be useless to argue when he will be back and just trust the process.
It's not yet a big lose for leverkusen. Im think that patrik can use this moment to prove his worthiness as a striker as well. This makes the situation becomes even worst and we can only hope that he will able to play good like boniface.
Im not complaining if he was injured caused by this is a non predictable thing. This will make xabi aware how important to have a secondary striker. The club can't always rely upon boniface.
As long as leverkusen has secondary striker then what's the problem? Despite knowing that Boniface was a good player, is it not unfair to deny the secondary striker an opportunity to play, especially considering Boniface's injury?
I think that this is a reasonable solution for this problem.
Leverkusen have been good in their performance so far this season, their squad list has been beneficial to them and the coach's strategy too. It's only fair that now that their key striker is out on injury, they only have to get a replacement for him. Well it's not going to be a very big deal because luckily for them the window is open all they need to do is to carefully scout a good replacement that would match their strikers ability, even though it's temporary.
The second choice striker doesn't have much of the ability as the first and so a lot of work should be done or it's cost the team their performance records subsequently. Yes injuries cause setbacks to teams but it's inevitable and unpredictable too that's why it'll be best for a team to structure themselves and the squad as to always having the right replacement when these setbacks occur. Let's hope that the second striker would match the pressure that the forth coming games would put up.
