Super Eagles are about to rue another loss of a player after reports that Victor Boniface will be involved in the African Cup of Nations due to injury on Monday, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The Bayern Leverkusen forward was said to have picked up a Muscular injury during training in UAE which led to his absence in the friendly match against UAE local club, Al Ghraib and the Pre-AFCON friendly match against Guinea.
According to reports, the result of Boniface’s scan shows injury may keep him out for a few weeks which would rule him out of AFCON.
He is expected to travel to Germany to continue treatment as OGC Nice striker Terem Moffi is likely to be the alternative call up.
His absence will be a huge blow for the 3-time winners who are seeking a 4th title in Cote D'Ivoire.
