Victor Boniface was not called up for this international break this is not unconnected to his present state as you know he is not too fit as he failed a medical in AC Milan even though he made a final minute move to weirder Bremen , I don't think that he is too fit for this crucial world cup qualifiers so the coach did the right thing by not calling him up for this games.
Boniface debunked the statement about him being unfit, don't forget that AC Milan didn't give out full information regarding the player failing medical. I don't know to believe, AC Milan medical teams or the player who owns his body and knows whether he is fit or unfit. The club he went for on loan also conducted medicals on the player and he passed, how do we explain this part.
You can figure out who's lying here, I think A.C Milan are the ones covering something up and didn't say the truth, how come he didn't pass medical with A.C Milan move but passed a medical on hospital loan move. Maybe they didn't want Boniface as an African player, especially Nigeria,seeing what Napoli and Victor Osimhen deal has been on loggerheads. They just remembered Osimhen-Napoli situation and changed their mind but isn't something they have to review.
