Breaking News: Injury Rules Out Victor Boniface From 2023 AFCON

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.

Initial prognosis revealed that the Bayer Leverkusen star would probably not sufficiently recover in time for the tournament and had baded his teammates bye.

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

The team are already without influential midfielder Wilfred Ndidi who was replaced by Alhasan Yusuf while Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi had been injured even before the list of provisional squad was made known.

The Bayer Leverkusen star has been replaced by Lorient striker Terem Moffi who is on the provisional list as a result of the setback.
