Bayer Leverkusen forward, Victor Boniface, recently shared his thoughts on his absence from both the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and the Bundesliga, citing it as a challenging period due to injury.
Boniface encountered an adductor injury during Nigeria’s preparation for the 2023 AFCON in Abu Dhabi, UAE, which forced him to miss both the tournament and several months of football action, Footballrover reports.
Following surgery, the 23-year-old spent approximately three months on the sidelines, eagerly awaiting his return to the pitch.
Making his comeback for Bayer Leverkusen in their recent DFB Pokal triumph against Fortuna Dusseldorf, Boniface expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to play again after his prolonged absence.
