Victor Boniface will not play again for Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen this year due to injury.
Boniface suffered a muscle fibre tear in his thigh during Nigeria’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixture against Rwanda on Monday.
The 23-year-old has not trained with his Bayer Leverkusen teammates since returning back to Germany.
The forward is expected to be back in action early next year.
Media Talk Africa recalls Boniface was sidelined for around three months last season due to an adductor injury.
He has scored eight goals in 15 appearances across all competitions for Die Werkself this season.
