Victor Boniface has been excluded from the forthcoming Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, which is being held in Cote d’Ivoire, which is a major blow for both Bayer Leverkusen and Nigeria, Bet Extract reports. The exact nature of Boniface’s injury is still unknown, with differing sources suggesting that he may have suffered a groyne or knee damage. Concerns for both club and nation are raised by Victor Boniface’s absence from multiple squad training sessions and a pre-tournament test match against Guinea on Monday, as the AFCON, which is scheduled to begin on January 13 and end with the final on February 11, approaches. Though the Nigerian Football Association has not released an official statement, all signs point to the gifted striker missing a significant portion of the competition. The 23-year-old striker Victor Boniface has been excluded from the forthcoming Africa Cup of Nations, which is being held in Cote d’Ivoire, which is a major blow for both Bayer Leverkusen and Nigeria. The exact nature of Boniface’s injury is still unknown, with differing sources suggesting that he may have suffered a groyne or knee damage. Concerns for both club and nation are raised by Victor Boniface’s absence from multiple squad training sessions and a pre-tournament test match against Guinea on Monday, as the AFCON, which is scheduled to begin on January 13 and end with the final on February 11, approaches. Though the Nigerian Football Association has not released an official statement, all signs point to the gifted striker missing a significant portion of the competition. On social media, Victor Boniface expressed his disappointment, stating that he is heartbroken to miss the AFCON, mirroring his absence from the 2021 U20 Africa Cup of Nations. The 24-year-old Nathan Tella, Victor Boniface’s colleague at Bayer, who received his maiden international cap this autumn, is one of the qualified applicants. Tella has scored two goals in club play this year, showcasing his goal-scoring ability. He might be a great addition to the Super Eagles. The loss of Victor Boniface adds an unexpected twist to Nigeria’s AFCON trip, causing fans and commentators alike to speculate about the possible impact on the team’s performance in the next tournament while the football world waits for further developments. https://blog.betextract.com/afcon-2024-victor-boniface-out-of-nations-cup-over-injury/
