Super Eagles’ quest to win a fourth Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire took a hit on Monday evening as striker Victor Boniface will miss the 2024 tournament following the hamstring injury he sustained up in camp.

“Wish you guys all the best at Afcon. @ng_supereagles,” the massively built forward added with two love emojis.

The Bayer Leverkusen star has been replaced by Lorient striker Terem Moffi who is on the provisional list as a result of the setback.
