Xabi Alonso gives injury update on Super Eagles striker
Bayer Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso has shared the latest developments regarding forward Victor Boniface’s recovery from a thigh injury sustained during international duty last month.
The 23-year-old Nigerian striker is expected to remain sidelined until early 2025, though Alonso remains optimistic about his progress.
“We have hope,” Alonso told Liga Insider. “He is on the right track, but it is too early to say when he will be back.”
Boniface, who has been a pivotal player for Bayer Leverkusen this season, will be missed as the team navigates key fixtures. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his exact return date, Alonso’s comments suggest a positive outlook for the forward’s recovery trajectory.
