The anticipation for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations intensifies as Super Eagles forward, Victor Boniface, faces a race against time to regain fitness. The 23-year-old suffered a muscular injury during a training session in Abu Dhabi, rendering him unable to partake in the recent test game against Al Gharib and likely to miss the upcoming friendly against the Syli Stars of Guinea.
With Boniface’s availability uncertain, the Nigerian national team is left with a striking conundrum, amplifying the significance of Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Real Sociedad’s Umar Sadiq, the only fit strikers currently in the squad. Furthermore, the fitness of another key striker, Kelechi Iheanacho, remains in doubt, posing a significant challenge for the Super Eagles’ offensive lineup.
As the AFCON approaches, the Super Eagles and their supporters are anxiously monitoring the recovery efforts of Boniface and other crucial players, realizing that the team’s success in the tournament may hinge on the swift recuperation of their key talents.
